Defence Minister Arun Jaitley on Monday described the Pakistan’s action of mutilating the bodies of two Indian soldiers as “reprehensible and inhuman act”, which do not even take place during war.
“Two of our soldiers in the Krishna Ghati sector in Poonch have been killed and their bodies were mutilated by our neighbours. This is a reprehensible and an inhuman act. Such acts don’t even take place during war, let alone in the peacetime,” Jaitley said in a statement.
“Bodies of soldiers being mutilated is an extreme form of barbaric act. The Indian government strongly condemns this act and the whole country has full confidence and faith in our armed forces which will react appropriately to this inhuman act. The sacrifice of these soldiers will not go in vain,” he stated. The defence minister’s reaction comes in the backdrop of Pakistan’s border action team ambushing an Indian Army-BSF patrol team, and killing two soldiers. The Pakistan army has denied its involvement.
