Lahore, May 28 (HS). Pakistan had stabbed India in the back by infiltrating into Kargil, ignoring the agreement made with India in 1999. Former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif admitted this in a program on Tuesday.
Former Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on Tuesday admitted that Islamabad has violated the agreement signed with India in 1999 by him and former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee. He said this in an apparent reference to the Kargil attack carried out by General Pervez Musharraf. Addressing the general council of the party after being elected president of the ruling Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), Sharif said that on May 28, 1998, Pakistan conducted five nuclear tests. After that Vajpayee sahab came here and signed an agreement with us but we violated that agreement, it was our mistake.
Sharif and Vajpayee signed the Lahore Agreement here on February 21, 1999. The agreement, which spoke of a vision of peace and stability between the two countries, marked a major breakthrough, but a few months later Pakistani intrusion into the Kargil district of Jammu and Kashmir led to the Kargil war.
“President Bill Clinton offered five billion US dollars to stop Pakistan from conducting nuclear tests but I refused. If a person like (former prime minister) Imran Khan was in my seat, he would have accepted Clinton's offer,” Sharif said as Pakistan celebrated the 26th anniversary of its nuclear tests.
Earlier, in a program, former Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif was elected unopposed as the president of the ruling Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) party on Tuesday. Sharif, who was forced to step down after the Supreme Court's decision in the Panama Papers case, has been elected to this post after six years. He was elected unopposed to the post of president in the party's general council meeting.
PML-N election commissioner Rana Sanaullah told the general council that only Nawaz was nominated for the post of party president.
