Read the passage and answer the following question.

The Kargil War, also known as the Kargil conflict, was fought between India and Pakistan from May to July 1999 in the Kargil district of Jammu and Kashmir and elsewhere along the Line of Control (LOC). In India, the conflict is also referred to as Operation Vijay (Victory'), which was the codename of the Indian military operation in the region. The role of the Indian Air Force in acting jointly with the Indian Army was aimed at flushing out both the Pakistan Army and paramilitary troops from vacated Indian positions along the LOC, in what was designated as Operation Safed Sagar ('White Sea").

The conflict was triggered by the infiltration of Pakisani troops-disguised as Kashmiri militants- into strategic positions on the Indian side of the LOC, which serves as the de facto border between the two countries in the disputed region of Kashmir. During its initial stages, Pakistan blamed the fighting entirely on independent Kashmiri insurgents, but documents left behind by casualties and later statements by Pakistan's Prime Minister and Chief of Army Staff showed the involvement of Pakistani paramilitary forces, led by General Ashraf Rashid. The Indian Army, later supported by Indian Air Force, recaptured a majority of the positions on the Indian side of the LOC; facing international diplomatic opposition, Pakistani forces withdrew from all remaining Indian positions along the LOC.

The Kargil War is the most recent example of high-altitude warfare in mountainous terrain, and as such, posed significant logistical problems for the combating sides. It also marks one of only two instances of conventional warfare between nuclear-armed states (alongside the Sino-Soviet border conflict). India had conducted its first successful test in 1974, Pakistan, which had been developing its nuclear capability in secret since around the same time, conducted its first known test in 1998, just two weeks after a second series of tests by India.

Who among the following was the Prime Minister of Pakistan during the Kargil war?

Nawaz Sharif

The correct answer is option (1) - Nawaz Sharif

The Prime Minister of Pakistan during the Kargil war was Nawaz Sharif.
