The Indian Army on Tuesday described the killing and mutilation of two of its soldiers as dastardly and inhuman and told its Pakistani counterpart that the incident merited an unequivocal response. Such a “dastardly and inhuman act is beyond any norms of civility and merits unequivocal condemnation and response”, a statement quoted Bhatt. Army vice chief Lt Gen Sarath Chand said the Pakistani army would have to accept responsibility and face consequences for its action, which reflected its frustration. We will respond but at apt time and place.”The incident happened a day after Pakistani Army chief Gen Qamar Javed Bajwa visited areas along the LoC opposite the Krishna Ghati sector. Pakistan’s denials had little impact at two villages in Punjab and Uttar Pradesh — that of fallen soldiers Singh and Sagar.
