Pakistan's envoy to India avoids question on mutilation of jawans

NEW DELHI: Pakistan's High Commissioner to India Abdul Basit on Tuesday was seen evading the question on mutilation of Indian soldiers by the Pakistan army.
Basit did not pass any comment when a journalist from news agency ANI approached his car, asking for his statement on the mutilation of two soldiers in Jammu and Kashmir's Poonch district.
On Monday, Pakistan's border action teams (BATs) crossed into the Indian side as Pakistan army launched heavy rocket and mortar firing on two forward posts in the Krishna Ghati sector in Poonch.
The simultaneous, unprovoked attacks took place on Monday morning, in which an Army JCO and a BSF head constable were killed and another soldier was injured, a defence spokesman said.
This 'unsoldierly act' of the Pakistan army has evoked strong reaction from India, with government sources saying that the Army has been given a free hand to respond to the attack.
Union Defence Minister Arun Jaitley has also said that the sacrifice of the two Indian soldiers whose bodies were mutilated by Pakistan army team will not go in vain.
