Big revelation by Nawaz Sharif – Infiltration by Pakistan Army in J&K was Responsible for 1999 Kargil War

New Delhi. Former Prime Minister of Pakistan Nawaz Sharif has admitted that Islamabad ‘violated’ an agreement with Bharat in 1999. His revelation came to light at a Pakistan Muslim League (PML-N) general council meeting.

During the meeting, Nawaz Sharif said the then-Indian Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee visited Lahore, and signed the Lahore Declaration on February 21, 1999. The agreement aimed to promote peace and stability between Bharat and Pakistan. However, shortly after the signing, Pakistani troops infiltrated the Kargil district in Jammu and Kashmir, leading to the Kargil War.

During the general council meeting, Sharif was re-elected unopposed as the President of the ruling PML-N party.
