Former RAW Chief AS Dulat on Friday made shocking revelations about the Atal Bihari Vajpayee government. Dulat has been handling Kashmir for over two decades now. He admitted that the response to the IC-814 hijack in 1999 was "goofed up" as no clear instructions were given to the police when the plane landed in Amritsar. The hijackers would not have otherwise managed to take it to Kandahar in Afghanistan. Furthermore, he disclosed that Vajpayee was against making Mufti Muhammad Sayeed the Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir because of “grave doubts that his daughter Mehbooba Mufti had militant links.”
