Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn't here.
Nawaz Sharif and India have one trait in common, both lie to protect their failures. India lied about Kargil defeat.
Nawaz Sharif and his PMLN members lie about Pakistan Army’s Kargil War Victory.
Every Jiyala of PMLN will tell you Kargil War was a Failure.
Indian Army Chief of Kargil War wants to Forget It!
Nawaz Sharif’s reason behind this chicanery is that he did not want to give credit to Pakistan Army under the leadership of Gen.(Retd) Pervez Musharraf for thrashing the Indian Army at the heights of Kargil, which resulted in killing 3,000 Indian Army soldiers and officers. Gen.(Retd) Musharraf may have a thousand flaws, but, Kargil War was his finest hour. Gen(Retd) Aziz and Gen(Retd) Musharraf played a stroke of genius in Kargil War Strategy. Pakistan’s Political Pundits demonize him and due to personal bias portray him as responsible for a Kargil “fiasco.” If Kargil War was a fiasco for Pak Army, then, the question arises,why did India Court Martial several GOCs and Corp Commander of Indian Army, XV Corp ?:
Indian Heavy Losses in Kargil War Are Remembered
in Huge Monument Build to Honour Over 3,000 War Dead
“But the General has not shared the lapses and neglect of responsibilities of the Army leadership, particularly of the sector commanders, and to an extent, his own. Some of these are by now, well known, including the mindset of the 15 Corps Commander, Lt Gen Krishan Pal, who insisted that there were only a handful of infiltrators 60 to 80 and that none of them was a Pakistani soldier. He committed troops without allowing them adequate weapons and strength, and if facts given by Lt Gen Y M Bammi in a book are taken into account, he punished an officer, Brig Devinder Singh, who wanted better preparations insisting that there were a large number of Pakistani soldiers inside the Indian territory.
The officer had eight battalions under his charge, and by all accounts, he fought very well, leading the troops from the front. Gen Malik himself has been seen and heard praising this officer at various fora. Yet, Brig Devinder Singh’s career was cut short to save those who were wrong.
To recall, the biggest players of the Kargil War were:
The Government at the highest echelon of the Political Leadership;
The top rung of the military leadership – The Army Chief, GOC-in-C Northern Command, 15 Corps Cdr , and the 3 Div Cdr. The intelligence agencies, primarily the Intelligence Bureau (IB) and Research and Analysis Wing (RAW). The Indian Air Force (IAF) and its exercise of Air Power.
The dedicated and committed soldiers and the middle and junior level officers.

Nawaz Sharif’s Paranoia
Nawaz Sharif was paranoid that after such a great victory. He was afraid that Gen (Retd) Musharraf would achieve same status as FM Ayub Khan and thereby kick out the absolutely corrupt and incompetent illegitimate Nawaz Sharif PMLN “Dandhelee”) Govt. Nawaz Sharif propaganda against Kargil is unrelenting. He did not want Pakistan public to believe that Pakistan Army was capable of achieving this victory. Nawaz Sharif is very astute about his business interests.
His Two Pronged Approach to Stop Kargil War
Nawaz Sharif’s objectives were to promote his business interest in India, a larger market for his Ittefaq Industries products. He wanted to save India and Indian Army from humiliation from this ignominious defeat. He used a two-pronged approach, 1) Stop the War and Prevent Pakistan Army to Make Gains in Kargil sector, which may make Indian Army’s Movements under Pakistan Army Observation Posts. Thus allowing Pakistan Artillery to cause serious damage to India convoys providing supplies to units in Kashmir. 2) To make Pakistan Army look weak, humiliated, bungling, and a “rogue” organization. This would give Nawaz and his party to keep Pak Army on the defensive and not interfere in national affairs, no matter how much corruption Nawaz and his friends do. Historically,
Nawaz Sharif, A CIA Asset
Nawaz Sharif is a CIA’s major asset in Pakistan’s political scene. He is weak, easily intimidated, cowardly, incompetent, and in times of crisis gets a “mind freeze.” He cannot handle crisis well and that can be seen in his vacillation and foot dragging against TTP. He is co-dependent on CIA and gets his direction through their position papers and relies heavily on their analyst. Even today, Sartaj Aziz, the Octogenarian is in Washington to get direction from Secretary John Kerry.
Nawaz Sharif’s Mortal Fear of Losing Business & Life
During Kargil War, Nawaz Sharif was morbidly afraid of Indian intrusion across the international boundary in Lahore. His fears most likely included capture of Lahore and his own arrest by the Indian Army. All of the above factors resulted in his mad dash to President Clinton to stop, “Pakistan Army,” which he could not do, from further escalation and consolidation in Kargil.
Nawaz Sharif does not care an iota about Pakistan or its people. His interests lies in survival and accumulation of wealth and power. Nawaz Sharif is a Pakistani “Banya,” who has a Banya Mentality. His upbringing by a corrupt father, who accumulated enormous wealth and went from a small brick Kiln foundry to acquisition of Pak Army’s major asset. The Ittefaq Foundry.
Nawaz Sharif is the causative agent for withdrawal of Pakistan Army from Kargil, which resulted in the only causalities due to their exposure to forward observers of Indian Artillery. Thus Nawaz snatched, a defeat from victory. He is responsible for all the Shahadats of the extremely brave NLI and Sindh Regiment soldiers, when they were asked to pull back. Nawaz Sharif has PAK ARMY BLOOD on his hand. He has also demonized Pak Army through a whispering campaign by PMLN Jiayalas, that Kargil War was a defeat for Pak Army. He knows the truth. One day, that truth will catch-up to Nawaz, when he and his whole family may have to pay for it with their own blood. India is having a hard time swallowing Kargil defeat, in spite of heavy losses and post defeat embarasment, Indian Army continues to console itself, by reading false and concocted reports by Indian Media.
As usual, Pak Media was asleep at the wheel and due to its hatred of Pakistan Army for its meddling in politics, Pak media could not digest Pakistan Army’s finest hour and went along with lies and snake oil which India and Nawaz Sharif were selling.
{COMMENT}
If Kargil victory is so great, why is India ,the Victor trying to forget it.
Victors Do Not Forget Victory,Only losers Do
Kargil was India’s first television war and could have promoted a “strategic culture” in the country, but the gains were lost because of political compulsions, Malik says.
“We must celebrate the Kargil victory. Unfortunately, the Kargil war has become a political football,” 74-year-old Malik, who lives in the Chandigarh suburb of Panchkula, told a news agency in an interview.
“Politics got into the Kargil victory and the celebrations became a political football. That’s what we saw with political rivals celebrating and criticising the war for reasons that suited them,” Malik said.

“The armed forces had tremendous support from the people and the media,” he said, adding: “But politics got into all this and that’s why there were good celebrations initially and there are hardly any celebrations. Slowly people are beginning to forget, because it is not providing much political mileage.”
From 2000 to 2003, July 26, the day the war ended, was commemorated in a variety of ways. This, however, stopped when the United Progressive Alliance government came to power.
Calling for grander celebrations, Malik said, “We have to tell the people about these battles and if we want to build a strategic culture, we need to celebrate these victories and inform people how these battles were won.”
The Kargil war in May-July 1999 saw India throwing back Pakistani regulars who had occupied key heights in the sector that had been vacated by the Indian troops during the harsh winter.
At the same time, Malik readily agreed that the victory in the 1971 war with Pakistan that saw the creation of the independent nation of Bangladesh was “much bigger” and “greater” than Kargil.
“The 1971 war was certainly a much bigger, greater victory for India, as we had fought on both (eastern and western) fronts. But that was 1971. In 1999, we were reacting to a situation, as in 1965, and were playing on the back foot.
“In 1971, we had taken the initiative in view of the refugees pouring in from the East and there was time for us to prepare for the war,” Malik said.
But the situation in 1999 was different, he said, noting that the whole world was watching India with suspicion following its 1998 nuclear tests.
“We did exceeding well with the Army, Navy and the Air Force jointly working out a strategy in a limited war scenario,” he added.

If economist Jim O’Neill’s projections are correct, Pakistan’s economy would grow 15 times in the next 35 years or so.
The BBC in its recently published article, termed it as the envy of many developed countries but also two of the BRIC countries, China and Russia. So, if Mexico, Indonesia, Nigeria and Turkey get their act together, some of them could match Chinese-style double-digit rates between 2003 and 2008.
BUT STILL NAWAZ SHARIF FAILS
MORE ECONOMIC GRAPHS

Here’s the pitch. This is a story about a cricket team. It starts in 2006 when they forfeit a Test match because they have been accused of cheating. The next year their coach dies during the World Cup. A murder investigation ensues. For 12 months the team are ostracised and do not play a single Test match. In 2009 Test cricket returns to their country, but gunmen attack their opposition, injuring six players and killing six policemen and two civilians. The team are forced into playing in exile, on a never-ending tour. In Australia in 2010 a cabal of their players are accused of deliberately underperforming because they dislike the captain. So their board bans the team’s two best batsmen for life, though both decisions are overturned soon after. Later that year their new captain and two best bowlers are caught spot-fixing in a sting by the News of the World. Then their new wicketkeeper abandons the team and goes on the run because, he says, his life is under threat from match-fixers.
That is just the broad-brush outline of the Pakistan story. The little details are rich with intrigue, too. Mohammad Asif was arrested after he was caught in possession of opium. Shoaib Akhtar was given a five‑year suspension, overturned in court, for criticising the board. The board got its revenge on Akhtar by announcing he had been dropped from the team because he had genital warts. Then there was the incident when the star all-rounder, Shahid Afridi, was caught on camera biting a cricket ball. Soon after Afridi became the Test captain, one of seven the team appointed in five years, and then quit after a single match.
This is a script so unlikely that even fans of the ropiest soaps would struggle to suspend their disbelief. In October 2010, when the International Cricket Council met in Dubai, the cricket community had had just about enough. There were ominous noises about kicking them out of the 2011 World Cup and suspending the ICC directorship of the Pakistan Cricket Board’s chairman, Ijaz Butt.
Looking back now it seems like that nadir was also a kind of high-water mark, the place where the wave finally broke and started to roll back. Things have been getting better for Pakistan. But then they could not get much worse. Three men have been at the heart of the healing process. In October 2010 Subhan Ahmad, a highly regarded administrator, was appointed the chief operating officer of the Pakistan Cricket Board. Last October a new, more conciliatory chairman, Zaka Ashraf, replaced Butt. And on the field Misbah-ul-Haq succeeded the disgraced Salman Butt as captain.
Misbah has now been in charge for 12 Test matches, a longer run than anybody has managed since Inzamam-ul-Haq retired. Since he took over his team have been unbeaten in six Test series, and have won more one-day internationals than any other side. Under Misbah’s captaincy Pakistan have adopted an avowedly pragmatic approach. It is not winning him fans, but nor is it losing him matches. His first series in charge was a 0-0 draw against South Africa. It was, he reckoned, a triumph for the team. After Pakistan beat New Zealand in the first Test in Hamilton last January, Misbah refused to chase a fifth day target of 274 in the second Test, preferring to settle for a series win rather than risk defeat trying to go 2-0 up.
“Cricket these days should be taken up with a balanced approach,” Misbah said before this series. “It’s better to win by playing defensively, instead of losing by playing aggressively.” The boom-boom or bust approach of Afridi that had typified the team’s play in recent years is not Misbah’s style.
A team cannot be consistently successful without a stable administrative set-up and a well-run board. England’s success has been proof of that truth. Giles Clarke, chairman of the England and Wales Cricket Board, was also the head of the ICC’s Pakistan Task Team (PTT). He “absolutely agrees that there has been a gradual improvement on and off the field” in Pakistani cricket, and believes the two things are linked. Clarke’s first impressions of the new PCB chairman are good. “Ashraf has made a careful, thoughtful, considered start. He has not rushed into anything. He is playing himself in very carefully, not playing many strokes, and certainly not in public.”
Ashraf, like all PCB chairmen, was appointed by the country’s president. In Pakistan there is understandable cynicism about this – Ashraf was a school-mate of President Asif Ali Zardari’s at Cadet College Petaro in the early 1970s. He is a banker not a cricketer but, crucially, he delegates much of the day-to-day running to his staff.
This is where Ahmad, the COO, comes in. Clarke describes him as “a very competent individual with a very low profile”. While Ashraf’s predecessor, Butt, was blundering around burning bridges, Ahmad was working in his wake, building them back up again. Ahmad arranged for the final of Pakistan’s domestic Quaid‑e‑Azam tournament to be played under lights with a pink ball as a trial for the ICC. That diplomatic gesture helped Ahmad secure 88 Tests for Pakistan in the next Future Tours Programme. Only India, England and Australia have more. It also gave him bargaining power when he had to negotiate with the ICC about its plans to force an end to political interference in running of the national boards.
Ashraf’s appointment as chairman is in direct contravention of that principle. But while the PCB is getting its house in order, the ICC is unlikely to push the point too hard. “We have had a detailed meeting last month with the ICC in terms of how we can change our constitution to bring it in line with the democratic set-ups that the ICC want,” Ahmad says. “Very soon we will be carrying out a detailed review of our constitution, and then we will start to make amendments.”
The PCB essentially asked the ICC for 12 months to get its house in order. Clarke says the board has “cherry-picked the best things out of the PTT report and implemented them in their own style to suit their needs as they see them”.
“The PCB was perhaps the first board to implement an anti-corruption code in its domestic cricket,” Ahmad says. “That was one of the PTT’s major recommendations and it was the first major step that we took. We have ensured that any player who gets an opportunity to represent Pakistan at any level, even at the under‑16s, has to sign a form acknowledging that they have received anti-corruption education and that they will abide by the PCB’s code.”
Around 800 Pakistani players and officials have received anti-corruption education lectures, in English and Urdu, since the start of this season. Ahmad believes the lack of such education was to blame for the wicketkeeper Zulqarnain Haider’s erratic behaviour at the end of 2010, when he fled to England after being tapped up by a bookmaker. “At the time we didn’t have any systems or education in place, so Zulqarnain didn’t know what the procedure was,” Ahmad says. “Those are some of the things that have now been written in our code as to what the players are required to when they are approached by a bookie.”
This month a delegation from the Bangladeshi government will visit Pakistan to assess security conditions. If they are satisfied with what they find – a big if, given the doubts being voiced by some of the Bangladesh players – then the team will tour the country in April. They would be the first Test side to visit since the attack on the Sri Lankans.
Ahmad is confident that the tour will happen, with matches likely to be played in Lahore, Karachi and Faisalabad. “I am quite optimistic, frankly, because if you look at the stats of the security conditions in Pakistan compared with 2010 and 2009 you will notice that there is a drastic reduction in the number of attacks,” he says. “Things are improving. We have had long discussions with our interior minister and the government is very keen and very serious about ensuring this tour goes ahead.”
“There is,” Ahmad says, “a real optimism in Pakistan among all stakeholders, including media. Everyone feels that there has been a change both on the field and off the field for Pakistan cricket.” The transformation Pakistan cricket needed is far from complete, but at least it is under way.
Misbah-ul-Haq, captain
Misbah became a professional cricketer late in his career, after completing an MBA degree aged 25. He was always considered to be one of the smartest men in the team, but only secured a permanent place when the selectors were looking for someone to take over from Salman Butt. A shrewd and pragmatic captain, the only trouble is that at 37 he may be too old to lead the side for long.
Saeed Ajmal, bowler
The off-spinner with a bamboozling doosra has been around for a while, but has blossomed under Misbah’s astute captaincy. He was the leading Test wicket-taker in the world in 2011, with 50 in eight matches at an average of 23. His partnership with the more defensive slow left-armer Abdur Rehman, who took 36 wickets in eight Tests in 2011, has been key to the team’s success.
Junaid Khan, bowler
A regular team‑mate of Mohammad Amir’s in junior cricket, Junaid emerged as one of Pakistan’s brightest prospects as the spot-fixing scandal was unfolding. A 22-year-old left-arm fast bowler, he has taken 13 wickets in his first four Tests. Just as Pakistan’s fans were mourning the loss of one great young talent in Amir, they had the consolation of discovering another one in Junaid.
Mohammad Hafeez, all-rounder
Another player who has started to thrive since Misbah took control of the team. Hafeez, so inconsistent for so long, scored two centuries in Tests and three in ODIs in 2011. He won 10 man-of-the-match awards in internationals last year. Together with Taufeeq Umar he is part of a stable opening partnership and he also bowls tidy off-spin.
Subhan Ahmad, COO
Reluctantly took on the role of the Pakistan Cricket Board’s chief operating officer in October 2010, and has since been the key man in the administration. Has won many admirers in the ICC with his intelligent, low-key approach to tackling the innumerable problems he faces. His diplomacy effectively ensured Ijaz Butt’s disastrous tenure as chairman did not cut off Pakistan from world cricket.
United States’s Relations with Pakistan
By
Inam Khawaja
The history of Pakistan’s relations with United States of America shows that since the signing of the ‘Mutual Defense Assistance Agreement’ on May 19, 1954 and the signing of ‘Mutual Security: Defense Support Assistance Agreement” on January 11, 1955 Pakistan has not violated any provision of these Agreements and has been an honest ally of USA. The US on the other hand has time and again acted directly against Pakistan’s interests.
1) In October 1955 US let down Pakistan with respect to promised military aid reference telegram from the Consulate General at Lahore to the Department of State of Oct. 4, 1955 quote:-
“Pouching dispatch on talk with General Ayub who says US let us down on military aid to Pakistan likely be exposed in Consembly with result various Mid-East countries will take ‘I told you so’ attitude on [or?] argument “You cant trust Americans”
Says his face now red re contentions he made to King Saudi Arabia who personally warned in Pindi in 1954 “Americans can’t be trusted”. Says he also “had certain knowledge” that Shah of Iran felt the same way and so he Ayub sent an emissary to convince Shah USA different from British.” (refer page 444, Foreign Relations, 1955-1957, Volume VII)
2) In October 1962 US sent George Ball (Under Secretary of State) to Pakistan along with Duncan Sandys (Minister Commonwealth Relations UK) and put pressure on President Ayub to stop the planned military action by Azad Kashmir Army to capture Akhnur thus cutting off land route of Kashmir with India. (At that time India was being badly mauled in its war with China).
3) In 1965 US placed an embargo on arms sales to Pakistan and choose not to provide Pakistan with military support as pledged in the 1959 Agreement of Cooperation.
4) In April 1979 the United States suspended all economic assistance to Pakistan over concerns about Pakistan’s nuclear program.
5) It may be noted that Military sales and economic aid was resumed in 1981 after the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in December 1979. On October 1, 1990 US again suspended all military sales and economic assistance by applying the Pressler Amendment. Furthermore it totally abandoned Afghanistan and even closed its Embassy in Kabul.
6) In May 1998 when India conducted Nuclear tests USA put pressure on Pakistan not to conduct nuclear tests and when Pakistan went ahead and carried out nuclear tests USA imposed stringent economic sanctions on Pakistan.
After the demolishing of the World Trade Centre on 11, September 2001 Musharraf naively in his Commando bravado made verbal agreements with US and provided military bases, flight corridors, cooperation with CIA to arrest and hand-over Al-Qaeda operatives, induction of US troops in Pakistan ostensibly for training, transport of provisions through Pakistan for US forces in Afghanistan etc. In fact he should have let the Foreign Office to do the negotiation which was headed by Raiz Khokar an experienced and able Foreign Secretary.
USA has been fighting in Afghanistan since October 2001 now almost thirteen years, the longest war in their history. There are over 130,000 US and allied troops in Afghanistan. This is no different from Soviet Union which had about the same number of troops and after nine years threw in the towel and left Afghanistan in February 1989. The US and its allies are in the same situation and have finally decided to leave by the end of this year. However instead of accepting their failure they continue to blame Pakistan about insurgents in North Waziristan. This is exactly what the US Army did after their failure in Vietnam when General Westmoreland blamed Laos and Cambodia for allowing their territory to be used by the Viet Cong. However the difference is that at that time Nixon was the President, Kissinger was the Secretary of State (a man of great vision and intellect) and Helms was the Director of CIA, all very powerful and intelligent civilians who saw the failure of the army and extracted US out the unpopular Vietnam war which was in any case not in American interest.
In contrast today there is a President who is beset with an economy in doldrums, Susan Rice the National Security Advisor and General Petraeus the Director of CIA. Petraeus has come to this post after his military failure as Commander of ISAF and US forces in Afghanistan. Furthermore, Panetta has moved up from head of CIA (after the failure of CIA in Afghanistan) to the post of Secretary Defense. True to form to cover up their dismal failure in Afghanistan both militarily and politically the Pentagon and CIA are now blaming Pakistan.
One would like to ask Mr. Panetta as to what his CIA was doing while the Taliban traveled from the so called ‘bases’ in North Waziristan to Kabul travelling about 200 Km in Afghanistan? Why were they not interdicted while they travelled 200 Km with the weapons, ammunition, explosives and their other gear? How and from where they acquired the vehicles they used in the attacks? The fact is that the Taliban are very much based in Afghanistan where they have popular support which provides them with safe houses, stores for weapons, transport, ammunition and explosives which interestingly are all of US origin.
It is time that the US accepts the facts and faces the hard truth that their thirteen year war in Afghanistan is a total failure both politically and militarily. The nationalist Islamic Taliban is stronger than in 2001 and the Americans have not been able to win the hearts and minds of the Afghans. Their attempt to split the Taliban through Rabbani ended in his assassination. Taliban have survived over a decade of American onslaught both militarily and politically and today they are stronger and far better organized than they were in 2001. They have the support of over 60 percent of the Afghans. The recent Taliban attacks on the Intercontinental Hotel and on the fortified US Embassy and the twenty two hour firefight in the heart of Kabul was actually their message to the Americans to prove and demonstrate their presence and support in Kabul. It is time the US exit Afghanistan with an understanding with the Taliban rather than blaming Pakistan or ISI.
According to the survey taken by Pew Research Centre of USA only 11 percent Pakistanis had a favourable view of USA that is 89 percent Pakistanis were opposed to USA. It is significant that this survey was taken before Salala attack it must have significantly increased since then.
The recent threats to Pakistan by top American officials have to be taken most seriously by us. It would be disastrous to take them lightly and consider it an effort to just put pressure on us to take action against loyal Pakistani citizens in North Waziristan. It is speculated by some that there is a very strong view that if a decision is taken to act according to American dictate there is a possibility of a split in the forces. One needs to evaluate if this is the American’s real intention because this could provide them an excuse to act against our nuclear assets. One US think tank has recently proposed the development of a US-Indian nexus for this purpose.
After a break of about three years the US Pakistan strategic dialogue has started with a statement by Kerry; “It remains essential for the United States and Pakistan to continue to find avenues of cooperation on counter-terrorism, on nuclear security.”
Pakistan finds US obsession with our nuclear security sinister especially in view of their silence on Israel’s nuclear assets.
The people of Pakistan are firmly behind their Armed Forces. Every political party is united in its resolve to stand firmly against those American dictates which are against our national interest. The people of Pakistan know what their national interest is and we do not need American advice on this matter.
