In fact, in Pakistan, there is a sense that Kargil is an achievement of sorts. Qazi Hussain Ahmed, the Amir of Jamaat-i-Islami and a fierce detractor of Nawaz Sharif, has urged the latter to act determinedly. Hardly anyone views this operation as a 'misadventure', as Indian leaders describe it. Former army chief, Gen Mirza Aslam Beg, argues that all those who think Kargil is a misadventure 'are cowards. The mujahideen have acted in a calculated way. Now it'll be difficult for the international community and India to push Kashmir under the carpet'. Another defence analyst, Shireen Mazari, censured Sharif for failing to 'adequately project the cause of the Kashmiri mujahideen in Kargil'. Mazari asserted that as far as internationalising of Kashmir is concerned, 'it's already an international issue'.
