NEW DELHI: The Modi Government and political parties today roundly criticised Pakistan for the beheading of two Indian soldiers in Jammu and Kashmir, with a BJP lawmaker insisting that “same treatment” be meted out to the Pakistani army.
Defence Minister Arun Jaitley denounced the “barbaric act”, saying such attacks do not even take place during war and that the whole country has full faith in the armed forces.
“Bodies of soldiers being mutilated is an extreme form of barbaric act. The Government of India strongly condemns this act. The whole country has full faith in our armed forces which will react appropriately to the act,” Jaitley said.
He said sacrifice of the soldiers will not go in vain.
“This is a reprehensible and an inhuman act. Such attacks do not take place (even) during war,” he said.
Demanding a tit-for-tat response, BJP MP R K Singh, a former Union home secretary, said,”Pakistan understands only one language and therefore we need to kill more Pakistani soldiers and give them the same treatment.” (AGENCIES)
