Tarn Taran, May 2The family of slain soldier Naib Subedar Paramjit Singh, whose body was brutally mutilated by the Pakistani Army in J&K, opened the coffin to see his body before cremating it.The martyr’s cremation was held up for a while after his kin insisted on seeing his body first.“Whose body is this? It is all behind this box. We are not being shown the body. Why are they not showing us the body, they just said that it is Paramjit’s body. It is just written on the box,” said the kin of the solider.

However, after seeing his body, the satisfied family proceeded to cremate it with full honours.Mourning the demise, the family called on the Centre to assure justice and go to war with Pakistan if they had to. “The Centre should take strict action. If war is the solution, then we should just go to war with Islamabad and finish the issue once and for all. By any chance, if the issue can be sorted out with dialogue then even that should be tried,” said the brother of the slain jawan.Earlier on Monday, Pakistan’s brutal Border Action Team (BAT) mutilated the bodies of two Indian soldiers in the Krishna Ghati sector along the Line of Control.
