In a gruesome attack, Pakistan regular soldiers crossed into Indian territory in Poonch sector of Jammu and Kashmir yesterday and ambushed an Indian patrol killing two soldiers, one of whom was decapitated.
Khurshid also stressed the need “to make sure that whatever happened should not be escalated. We cannot and must not allow escalation of this very unwholesome event that has taken place.”
Khurshid also said, “the manner in which the bodies have been treated, of course, the manner is of very very deep concern.
“This has been conveyed as unacceptable. We are doing the best that is possible and I expect there would be some response from the other side. Our intent is being conveyed very clearly. Our anxiety has been conveyed very clearly. Now we would expect an appropriate response from other side. I think, once again we feel this is completely unacceptable.”
Reacting strongly, Congress said, “What Pakistan has done on our borders is unfortunate. Pakistan should not try our patience. We have lost our patience now.”
Alleging that the neighbouring country does not have respect for Line of Control, Congress spokesperson Rashid Alvi said, “We want good relations with all neighbouring countries including Pakistan. But Pakistan itself has put a question mark.”
