Muslims won Kargil for India, not Hindus

Samajwadi Party leader Azam Khan has kicked up yet another political storm by saying that India won the Kargil War solely because of Muslim soldiers and no Hindu soldier was behind the victory. Addressing a rally in Ghaziabad on Monday afternoon, the senior Uttar Pradesh minister while asking “Hindus brothers” to embrace Muslims, said,”…isliye mohabbat karo ki Kargil ki pahadiyo ko fateh karne wala koi Hindu nahi tha, balki Kargil ki pahadiyo ko nara-e-takbeer Allah-Hu-Akbar kehkar fathe karnewale Musalman fauji the… (love us because peaks of Kargil were not conquered by Hindus, but by Muslim soldiers raising the battlecry of God is the Greatest).” Reacting to Khan’s statement, former army chief General VK Singh said it wasn’t any particular community but “Indians” who won the battle for India.
