ProMASS News Bureau: Feb 18, 2016:
India says Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s reported comments on Kargil war is only confirmation of truth.
Mr. Sharif has reportedly said that the Kargil misadventure in 1999 by troops of Pakistan was a stab in the back of the then Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee as the two neighbours were engaged in a peace process. Talking to reporters in New Delhi, External Affairs Ministry Spokesperson Vikas Swarup said Pakistan Prime Minister has said something which is known to all. On proposed Foreign Secretary level talks between the two countries, Mr. Swarup said both secretaries are in touch with each other but no dates have been finalised yet.
Asked about Pakistan’s offer of sending a special investigation team to India to probe the Pathankot attack, he said New Delhi is waiting for a firm proposal from Islamabad on the issue.
