General Pervez Musharraf was the army chief of Pakistan during the Kargil war. He is believed to have kept the then Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif in the dark regarding Kargil. Musharraf conducted a military coup in 1999 when Nawaz Sharif was in Sri Lanka. He later declared himself the President of Pakistan.
- Remember that mindsets can not be changed through force and coercion. No idea can ever be forcibly thrust upon any one.
- Islam teaches tolerance, not hatred; universal brotherhood, not enmity; peace, and not violence.
- Poverty and deprivation lead to frustration, making the masses vulnerable to exploitation by extremist organizations.
- We must learn from history, that there is no military solution for the Kashmir issue…we have to understand this reality.
- I believe in sympathy, compassion and forgiveness.
