How The 1999 Kargil Conflict Redefined US-India Ties Blaming Pakistan For The War?India News | World

India completed the eviction of Pakistani intruders, from those icy heights around Kargil on July 26, 1999. The Kargil intrusions across the LoC in the summer of 1999 took everyone by surprise. America continued to fear that if pushed beyond a point, the Pakistani Army might use its newly acquired nuclear weapons. This was also the veiled threat that Nawaz Sharif had given to President Clinton when he made the uninvited trip to Washington on July 4, 1999. But Clinton refused to be blackmailed and insisted that only a complete Pakistani withdrawal would be acceptable to the US. And Vajpayee's decision to limit Indian military operations only up to the LoC, was really the turning point in India's favour. #OperationVijay #KargilVijayDiwas #IndianArmy #KargilWar #Modi #IndiaPakWar #TimesNow
