According to an interview with General Shahid Aziz in Jan 2013, who held high-profile positions during Musharraf’s regime, on GEO TV, Nawaz Sharif’s claims that he was not informed by the Army high command about the Kargil operation have now been confirmed by Musharraf’s former DGMO, CGS, and Chairman NAB. General Aziz states that even the corp commanders and PSOs at GHQ were not aware of the plan. Thus, Musharraf must be held responsible for this misadventure. If it were not for Nawaz Sharif’s actions, the situation could have become even more disastrous and potentially resulted in a full-scale war.
General Aziz also reveals that the army’s high command had a plan in place for a military coup well before it took place on October 12th. This completely undermines Musharraf’s claim that the army only acted after he was removed as army chief and his plane was hijacked.
Let this day serve as a lesson to all undemocratic individuals and groups:
The deceased should not be honored without question. End of story.
