Coups are fascinating and this article could greatly benefit from more input. Hopefully it will eventually be as descriptive and detailed as the 2002 Venezuelan coup d'état attempt. ~ Rollo44 22:34, 5 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Its mentioned wrong here in the article that General Musharraf launched a coup against the government of the then Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, rater PM Nawaz Sharif launched the coup and in response to that General Musharraf launched a counter-coup. I am adding POV template to the page to discuss the neutrality of the article. --Sarmad (talk) 18:56, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Like it has been stated above, it should be mentioned that this could be seen as a reactive coup, considering Sharif was about to consolidate all all the power in the P.M.'s office. As wee, use of a word like "routed" to describe Kargil is obviously biased wording. It also states that Musharraf went forward with the operation without the knowledge of government, which is also disputed, as well as unproven, so should probably be left out. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.249.185.205 (talk) 06:26, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
There are issues all over but the first paragraph of "The Coup" is the most egregious. Nothing is sourced and there are weasel words all over the place ("kangaroo courts" anyone?) This isn't my area of expertise but someone has to know enough about this who can fix it. The neutrality tag will stay until it is fixed. Hammy (talk) 10:30, 21 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Confused as to why the result of the coup seems to entail a timeline of the entire 9 year military dictatorship? Surely only the immediate results of the coup, such as musharraf assuming power and sharifs being arrested, should be in the result section? маsтегрнатаLк 16:49, 20 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I vaguely remember that at the time, one of the justifications/excuses given for the coup was that when Musharraf's place was prevented from landing and ordered to divert, there wasn't actually enough fuel for it to do so. (I.e. if Musharraf hadn't taken action, the plane would have crashed and he would have been killed). There is a brief mention of fuel issues in the linked BBC article ("Independent reports confirm that the plane on which General Musharraf was travelling was very low on fuel when it eventually managed to land.") but no more, and no mention of it here. Is there any more information on this that could or should be included here? Iapetus (talk) 07:54, 16 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, I looked at the lead and saw some errors in sentences so I corrected them. Also, I was wondering if it is possible to remove some info in the lead because it was getting too long... Ideally we should leave the juicier stuff of the event to other sections because the lead should just cover the gist of the topic... I didn't make any major changes but these are just my thoughts, please review my changes though, thank you. Ronaa22 (talk) 00:58, 30 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
