KHAIRAIR (UP), Jan 14:
If Pakistan does not return the head of martyred soldier Hemraj, India should get at least ten heads from the other side, BJP leader Sushma Swaraj said today and asked the Centre to take tough action against that country.
“If his (Hemraj’s) head could not be brought back (from Pakistan), we should get at least 10 heads from there side,” Swaraj told reporters here after visiting Hemraj’s family along with party president Nitin Gadkari and leader Rajnath Singh.
“The question is: will we sit without any reaction and engage in a dialogue? This should not happen. At least the Government should react in some way. That is why we have said that Government should take some tough measures,” she said.
Lance Naik Sudhakar Singh and Hemraj were killed on January 8 by the Pakistan Army regulars after infiltrating into Indian territory in Poonch sector of Jammu and Kashmir.
“Today, the nation is demanding don’t prove a weak Government. They (Pak Army) came on the LoC, killed our soldier and took away his head with them and there should be no reaction…This should not be tolerated at any cost,” she said.
Swaraj alleged the Government showed lack of respect to the martyr and demanded an apology.
“The Government should apologise for the apathy. They should apologise to the family of the soldier and the country. But they should at the same time take revenge for the incident which took place,” she said. (PTI)
