Pakistan repeats what they had done to Captain Kalia

09 January, 2013

Pakistan's army in a clear repetition of Captain Kalia's incident has chopped off the head of an Indian army soldier after killing him at the Line of Control. Two soldiers, who have been killed in the action belong to Rajpuatana Rifles.

INDIAN GOVERNMENT has termed the alleged act of Pakistan's army as highly provocative and inhuman. India has also summoned High Commissioner of Pakistan Salman Bashir to lodge its protest over the brutal killings of its soldiers. In its denial Pakistan has rejected Indian claims that it mutilated an Indian soldier.

Strategic Affairs expert Brahma Chellaney sarcastically attacked Indian government over its cold reaction to what he called a barbaric incident. “In one of the worst acts of Pakistani army savagery in peace time, two Indian troops were chopped by raiders, who took away one severed head. India's reaction? PM, who dreams of open borders, mum,” tweeted Chellaney.

Media reports say that Pakistan border action team could be behind this inhumane act. The action team allegedly comprises Baluchistan regiment and SSG Commandos.

Recently after the visit of Pakistan's interior minister Rehman Malik, India had eased down visa restriction to the citizens from across the border. Along with this Pakistan's cricket team has just concluded its visit to India after a gap of many years. Both the countries have begun dialogue process at various levels to strengthen their ties, especially the bilateral trade. However, after this inhuman act by the Pakistan, demand is growing up in India to snap all ties with the former.

Group chairman of Mahindra & Mahindra, Anand Mahindra criticized the brutal killings of the two Indian soldiers and compared it with ancient times’ strategies to create fear. “Beheading & mutilation were ancient tools to strike fear in opponents' hearts. Today, they only make us angrier, stronger & more determined,” tweeted Anand Mahindra.
