coup to become president of pakistan
In 1999, from March to May, Musharraf had ordered the secret infiltration in Kargil district. As soon as India came to know about this, a war started between the two countries and Pakistan had to suffer. Musharraf was also badly hurt in this. In 1999, Pervez Musharraf became the tenth President of the South Asian nation (Pakistan) after the successful military coup of Nawaz Sharif’s government.
The convoy was stopped to meet Vajpayee
The personality and working style of former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee impressed not only his party people, close allies, leaders of opposition parties, but also foreign heads of state. Rajkumar Sharma has mentioned an incident related to former Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf in the magazine “Sahitya Amrit”. Musharraf was very impressed with Vajpayee ji. Sharma has told through his article that in April 2005, the then President of Pakistan, Musharraf had come on a tour of India. He had a desire to meet Vajpayee ji, but the then Manmohan Singh government did not pay much attention to this matter. Musharraf too probably had full intentions of meeting Vajpayee. Finally, on April 18, 2005, this meeting took place while going to Palam airport to return home.
Atal ji had good recognition of personality
Musharraf broke protocol by getting his convoy stopped at 6, Krishna Menon Marg on his way to Palam airport. Then he met Atal Bihari Vajpayee and told him that if he (ie Atal Bihari Vajpayee) had been the Prime Minister, the scene would have been different today. Atalji also wished Parvez Mursharaf with his familiar style and smile. Sharma has written in his article that Vajpayee had good recognition of the personality of the people. He made comments about many leaders which were mostly accurate.
