The Kargil War - Foolish Attempt of The Pakistan Part II
The Kargil War was Planned Much Earlier by General Parvez Musharraf
According to India's then army chief Ved Prakash Malik, and many scholars, the Kargil War was planned much earlier even Pakistani troops draw the route of logistical supply. On several occasions during the 1980s and 1990s, the army had given Pakistani leaders like Zia ul Haq and Benazir Bhutto similar plans for infiltration into the Kargil region, but the plans had been not to take action for fear of drawing the nations into all-out war. Because Pakistan's past war experience with India was not much good.

Pervez Musharraf - The Master Mind Behind the Kargil War
Pervez Musharraf was appointed chief of army staff in October 1998, immediately, he reactivated the blueprint of attack and with his other four generals, he took the decision and asked the Pakistani armed forces to enter into the Indian territory with the paramilitary troops of Pakistan. They entered the Indian side LoC and captured atop the Kargil sector. It was a high-end foolish drama between then Prime Minister of Pakistan, Nawaz Sharif, and then chief of Army, Pervez Musharraf. After the war, Nawaz Sharif, Prime Minister of Pakistan during the Kargil conflict, claimed that he was unaware of the plans and that he first learned about the war and the situation on the LoC when he received an emergency phone call from Atal Bihari Vajpayee, the Prime Minister of India, and his counterpart in India. Musharraf, however, told, "Nawaz Sharif had been briefed on the Kargil operation 15 days before of Vajpayee's journey to Lahore on 20 February".
