Minister of State for Defence Rao Inderjit Singh Tuesday repudiated former Pakistan President General Pervez Musharraf’s comment that Pakistani Army had “caught India by throat” in the Kargil war, <g data-gr-id="16">saying on the contrary</g> the 1999 war had given him a “bloody nose”.
“<g data-gr-id="18">Musharrraf</g> has no position (in Pakistan) as of today. He has been a maverick politician or a maverick leader. What he says does not have to be responded to. I think in the Kargil war we have given him a bloody nose,” Singh said.
He was speaking to reporters on the sidelines of the launching of the fourth anti-submarine warfare corvette ‘Kavaratti’ here in the eastern Indian state of West Bengal on Tuesday.
