Spotlight: “Generals ignored vital inputs leading to Kargil intrusions going unchallenged. Besides, they used troops as cannon fodder,” alleges exMajor Manish Bhatnagar, who was a Company Commander of 5 Para. Dismissed from service for raising concerns, he has sent a legal notice to former Army Chief, Gen. Malik asking him to withdraw his statement to media that “Kargil was an intelligence and surveillance failure”. Bhatnagar produces “sitreps” of the time reporting of intrusions in JanFeb, 1999, to rebut Gen. Malik’s claims.
