SPOTLIGHT: “Failure of Generals in Kargil led to soldiers being used as cannon fodder,” ex-Major

Spotlight: “Generals ignored vital inputs leading to Kargil intrusions going unchallenged. Besides, they used troops as cannon fodder,” alleges ex-Major 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 “sit-reps” of the time reporting of intrusions in Jan-Feb, 1999, to rebut Gen. Malik’s claims.
