He said that to put a stop to this, the government and the Army should take strict action, or India would lose more of her sons in many more ceasefires.On Monday, the Pakistani soldiers along with their Border Action Team (BAT), which include trained border inhabitants, launched a joint attack.They first fired rockets and followed this up with firing from automatic weapons, near Kranti Post located in Poonch’s Krishna Ghati sector around 8.30 am.The Pakistanis then crossed the LoC, entered 200 metres into the Indian territory, and attacked a joint patrol of the Army and Border Security Force (BSF), heading towards a nearby post.Defence Minister Arun Jaitley termed the mutilation a “reprehensible and an inhuman act” and said such acts didn’t take place even “during war, let alone during peace”. The attack triggered a major exchange of fire on the LoC and Indian troops resorted to small-arms fire and mortar-shelling, said an Army official.The Pakistan Army denied the alleged ceasefire violation or the mutilation of bodies.
