Amid Pakistan’s barbaric act by mutilating the bodies of two Indian soldiers on Monday, Defence Minister Arun Jaitley in evening condemn the incident and ensured that Indian armed forces will react appropriately and the sacrifices of our soldiers will not go in vain.
“Bodies of soldiers being mutilated is an extreme form o the barbaric act. Govt of India strongly condemns this act,” Arun Jaitley said.
“This is a reprehensible and inhumane act, such attacks don’t even take place during the war, let alone peace,” Jaitley added.
Meanwhile, Pakistan Foreign Ministery spokesperson denied the claims by the Indian authorities. In a tweet M. Nafees Zakaria said:
Two jawans were killed and mutilated in Kashmir in unprovoked firing by Pakistan this morning, the army has said, warning of “appropriate response” for the “despicable act.” It also retaliated with heavy mortar fire immediately, said sources.
The soldiers who were killed -an army jawan and a constable of the Border Security Force or BSF – were part of a team on patrol between two forward posts in the Krishna Ghati sector along the Line of Control when Pakistan fired rockets and mortar bombs, the army said.
