Jaswant: India knew about it

New Delhi: India had full information about Pakistani nuclear warhead movements during the Kargil war, the former External Affairs Minister, Jaswant Singh, has said.

"We had full information about it. Even the National Security Adviser to the then U.S. President gave this information to us in writing," Mr. Singh told Aaj Tak.

His comments came in the wake of the former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's claims in his biography that the Pakistani army led by General Pervez Musharraf moved nuclear warheads during the Kargil conflict.

Mr. Singh said he had also mentioned about the Pakistani nuclear warhead movement in his own book, due for publication later this month.

"The entire mechanism of governance in Pakistan was in disarray during and after the Kargil conflict. And in the process, great many things were happening. Various limbs of the Government in Pakistan were acting and they were accountable only to themselves," he said. — PTI
