I will reveal the Kargil incident: Nawaz Sharif

June 05, 2006 00:07 IST

Exiled former Pakistan Premier Nawaz Sharif has said he had taken responsibilty for some military generals' "mess-up" in Kargil in the "best interest" of the nation and that he would soon reveal the truth in "in-camera proceedings."

"I will reveal the truth soon but in in-camera proceedings. In fact, I had taken responsibility for some discussed strategies to involve other political parties in their historic 'Charter of Democracy' they signed in London in April to oust military from politics.

"We got together again... to discuss the current political situation and to fine tune the agenda for meeting of the (opposition) Alliance for Restoration of the Democracy scheduled to be held in London on July 2," said Sharif.

"We are looking forward to get the charter endorsed by other allies in the ARD in the July 2 meeting," said Bhutto who met Sharif at a dinner in Emirates Hill in Dubai.

Sharif told the newspaper that he had discussed with Bhutto the outline of the ARD meeting.

"After presenting the charter in the ARD meeting, we are planning to present it to other parties in a proposed All Parties Conference," he said.

He said President Pervez Musharraf cannot stop him from coming back to the country before the 2007 general elections.

"I am a citizen of Pakistan and no one can stop me from going back," the deposed Premier, who was exiled to Jeddah in Saudi Arabia by Musharraf's military regime, said.

He also met in Dubai former Pakistan President Rafiq Tarrar and former justice Mohammad Qayyum to discuss legal issues regarding his return to Pakistan.

Pakistan Government says that if Bhutto and Sharif try to come back, Bhutto would be arrested while Sharif would be sent back.
