In a significant development, Pakistan Army Chief General Asim Munir has publicly acknowledged the army's involvement in the 1999 Kargil War with India, marking the first such admission in 25 years. During a Defence Day speech, General Munir referenced the Kargil conflict, where Pakistani troops had infiltrated Indian territory in Kargil. Previously, Pakistan had denied direct military involvement, referring to the fighters as “freedom fighters” or “mujahideen.” The acknowledgment has sparked discussion online, with critics and former officials revisiting past denials and the controversial nature of the operation.
