Pak honours Kargil ‘hero’ it once disowned; had refused to accept body in 1999

Pakistan’s army chief honored Captain Karnal Sher Khan, a Kargil war “martyr,” despite initially refusing to accept his body after it was found on Tiger Hill. India stated that Pakistan denied acknowledging its army’s involvement in Kargil, refusing to identify Khan to conceal their role and disservice the families of their soldiers.
