| Pak: Oppn demands probe in Kargil debacle | | |
Islamabad, Oct 25 Pressing for its demand for an inquiry commission to go into the Kargil debacle, the opposition Pakistan's Peoples Party has said the issue cannot be allowed to die down as it has raised questions about the breakdown of communication between the civil and military leadership.
Questioning Musharraf's assertions that there was no need to form an commission on Kargil because it was a thing of the past, a spokesman of former Premier Benazir Bhutto's party said the "issue would not, indeed should not, die down because it had brought to the fore some very serious questions about war and peace." "When the sitting prime minister and the serving army chief disagree so fundamentally on who said what, it raises questions about the breakdown of communication between the civil and military leadership," Farhatullah Babar said.
"Such a communication breakdown can be disastrous when the issue at stake is that of war and peace and the countries involved are nuclear armed. Who takes the ultimate decision of taking the country to war and who decides the ceasefire is a question that can be ignored at grave peril in the future," he said.
The opposition leader said Musharraf's refusal to form an commission to probe the Kargil debacle was self serving and untenbale. |
