Kargil Vijay Diaws 2021: Former Army Chief Says ‘It Should Have Been’ Before Kargil Ceasefire …

New Delhi: Before the ceasefire in Kargil, security forces should have been allowed to take control of Pakistani territory near the Line of Control, said former Army Chief General VP Malik.

Today marks the 22nd anniversary of the 1999 Indo-Pakistani war. Speaking on the occasion, “Operation Victory was a political, military and diplomatic operation, which helped us turn even the most difficult situation into a strong military and diplomatic victory.” “Pakistan has had to pay a heavy price at both levels,” Malik said.

It took some time for the Indian Army to assess the situation that had suddenly arisen due to poor intelligence and incomplete surveillance. However, through successful diplomatic and military tactics, India won the battle. At the same time, India has succeeded in building its image of democracy, responsibility and resilience in the world, he said.

Speaking to the Times of India, former Army Chief General VP Malik reminisced. When the war broke out, Pakistan was facing a sudden situation. The failure of intelligence and surveillance led to many difficulties in identifying the intruders. Our frontline failed to identify intruders. They did not find the enemy’s place in time. Therefore, it was more important to get enough information and control the situation, he said.

Malik also expressed an unfulfilled wish that the Indian Armed Forces should have been allowed to occupy some Pakistani territory beyond the Line of Control before agreeing to a ceasefire when the Indian Armed Forces were assured of a military victory in Kargil.

The Kargil War marked a turning point in Indo-Pak security relations. Only two months ago, India realized that any agreement like the Pakistan-Lahore Declaration signed by India and Pakistan could be flagrantly violated by Pakistan. This was a major setback for Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s government. The government wasted no time in acknowledging that the intruders were not terrorists but Pakistani soldiers. However, the former army chief said that India lost faith in Pakistan after this.
