Pervez Musharraf never forgot that humiliation and when he was made Chief of Army Staff Pakistan army, he lost no time in implementing his pet project. It is said that he had presented his incursion to Benazir Bhutto as well when she was PM but she had firmly rejected it. He always believed that this type of incursion was the best way to avenge the 1971 defeat and the loss of Siachen to Indian troops.
