LAHORE, June 3: PML-N chief Nawaz Sharif claimed on Tuesday that his position had been vindicated by Lt-Gen (retd) Jamshed Gulzar Kyani’s assertion that he had not been taken on board on the Kargil operation.

Talking to the media at Lahore airport before leaving for London, he said he had always maintained that he was not fully informed about details and possible repercussions of the operation and he had rushed to the US to save the army from humiliation.

“Now even an army general is backing up my claims of not being fully informed about the operation and I demand an inquiry into the matter,” he said.

About the proposed constitutional package, he said his party would respond in two or three days.

“The party firmly believes that judges should be reinstated through an executive order, instead of a constitutional package.”
