Pakistani Army Chief General Asim Munir Admits Role in 1999 Kargil War After 25 Years
Sep 7, 2024, 12:01 PM
In a historic first, the Pakistani Army has officially acknowledged its direct involvement in the 1999 Kargil War against India. Pakistan Army Chief General Asim Munir confirmed this admission during a Defence Day speech, highlighting the sacrifices of Pakistani soldiers in various conflicts, including the Kargil War. Munir noted Rawalpindi's role and mentioned the deaths of several soldiers. This marks a significant departure from Pakistan's previous stance, where it attributed the conflict to 'Mujahideens' and refrained from acknowledging its military's role. The acknowledgment comes 25 years after the war, which resulted in a crushing defeat for Pakistan.
