Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif knew about the 1993 Mumbai serial blasts in advance and actually gave his approval for them, claims a new book by a former diplomat.

In his book, ‘Where Borders Bleed: An Insider’s Account of Indo-Pak Relations’ Rajiv Dogra, who was consul general of India in Karachi from 1992 to 1994, talks about a number of contentious issues between the two countries.

Covering historical, diplomatic and military perspectives in almost 70 years of conflict, the book chronicles the events leading up to Partition, reflects on the consequent strife, and provides a perspective on the figures who have shaped the story of this land -- from Lord Mountbatten and Muhammad Ali Jinnah to Atal Bihari Vajpayee and Manmohan Singh.

He claims that a former Pakistan Supreme Court judge during a meeting in 1994 on the French chancery premises in Karachi, told him about the blasts.

“I had just walked into the splendid garden, when an eminent former judge of the Pakistani Supreme Court shook my hands and said quickly, but sotto voce, ‘The blasts in Bombay were done with the approval of PM Nawaz Sharif’,” Dogra writes, adding the former judge said a sitting judge of the Supreme Court told him about it.

Dogra says he had “no reason to doubt a man of his eminence”, as the former judge had a “sterling reputation” and it was out of question that such a man would make a comment on the basis of “half-baked information”.

According to the author, as a judge, he “seemed to have been morally outraged that they should have been sanctioned at the highest level”.

The author also says that goes on to claim that Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif knew that Pakistani soldiers were occupying Kargil heights when he welcomed then Indian Prime Minister A B Vajpayee, who made the historic Delhi-Lahore bus ride.

“Close to the bus, Nawaz Sharif was looking distinctly uncomfortable as he bent to embrace Vajpayee. Sharif had reason to look sheepish as Pakistani soldiers were already occupying the heights in Kargil,” the book, published by Rupa, says.

In the book, Dogra says the Pakistan Army had planned a Kargil-type military operation much before the summer of 1999 when Benazir Bhutto was the prime minister but she stood her ground against the idea.

Dogra, a 1974-batch Indian Foreign Service officer who served as ambassador to Italy, Romania, Moldova, Albania and San Marino besides India’s permanent representative to the United Nations agencies based in Rome, terms Benazir as “liberal by temperament” and whose western education “had made her more receptive in her relationship with the outside world.”

“It is true that she was swayed by low-level intelligence gossip... But it is also a fact that on occasion she stood her ground against the army. This may have prevented the Kargil invasion at least once during her spell in office,” he says.

Quoting from an interview given by Benazir, Dogra goes to say how she dismissed the idea of Major General Pervez Musharraf, the then DGMO, about such an operation.

Though Musharraf painted a rosy picture of Pakistan winning the war and taking over Srinagar, Benazir apparently told him, “No, General, if I say that they (India) will tell ‘withdraw from Srinagar’. Don’t only withdraw from Srinagar but withdraw from Azad Kashmir too. Because under the UN resolution first the plebiscite – we have to withdraw even from Azad Kashmir where the plebiscite had to be held.”

Dogra says Benazir’s assertion was a “rare instance where a Pakistani leader took an army general to caution him against a misadventure.”

Terrorist PM lol
 
There is only one terrorist PM who was even barred from entering US only until now when he has been elected as a PM of a certain supa power.
 
Looks like Hindutva wet dreams have another episode. Keeps churning anti-Pakistan news. What is a fact is that Feku Modi butcher of Gujarat masterminded the genocide of 2,000 Muslims in cold blood.
 
India should go to UN and approach for impartial investigation of NS role in Mumbai bomb blast.
 
Indian desperation is touching new lows every day, now since she is in the spotlight for her cross-border terrorism in the neighborhood, each day they come up with a new comedy :lol:
 
And Indians on this forum were big NS fans since as per them he is very pro India and his retarded statements on Kargil War.

Indians need to make up their mind before becoming fan of others. :lol:
 
Ridiculous news.
