He has said details of the operation were hidden from other military commanders and the exact number of Pakistani casualties was still not known.
But Musharraf claimed the action in Kargil was a “localised” operation and not a major operation. “Kargil was just one of many sectors under a Major General stationed in Gilgit, (who was) in charge of the area. Exchange of fire was routine there,” he claimed.
Musharraf said he would not go so far as to accuse former premier Nawaz Sharif of betrayal but his decision to withdraw from Kargil was a mistake.
“Nawaz lost a political front which we had won militarily,” he claimed.
