'The agreement made with Vajpayee was broken by Pakistan', Nawaz Sharif confessed the truth after 25 years

Former pakistan prime minister Nawaz Sharif has made a big disclosure. He admitted that pakistan had violated the agreement made with former indian prime minister atal bihari vajpayee in 1999. Sharif was referring to the Kargil war, when the Pakistani army led by General pervez musharraf tried to capture parts of India.

Addressing the party's general council after being elected president of the ruling pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), Nawaz Sharif said, 'On May 28, 1998, pakistan conducted 5 nuclear tests. After that, the then prime minister of india atal bihari vajpayee sahab came here and made an agreement with us. But we violated that agreement. It was our mistake.'

Nawaz Sharif and atal bihari vajpayee signed the Lahore Agreement here on february 21, 1999. This agreement, which talked about the vision of peace and stability between the two countries, marked a major breakthrough, but a few months later the Kargil war took place due to Pakistani infiltration in the Kargil district of Jammu and Kashmir.
