Indian anger over soldiers' bodies 'mutilated by Pakistan' | |
(about 5 hours later) | |
Indians have taken to social media to demand revenge after the army accused Pakistani troops of killing two Indian security personnel in disputed Kashmir. | |
The army accused Pakistan of mutilating the bodies in Monday's clash on the Line of Control - claims the Pakistani army denied. | |
But Indians, including the mourning families of the soldiers, feel Pakistan "should be taught a lesson". | |
Indian PM Narendra Modi has also been criticised for "not taking any action". | |
Monika, the daughter of head constable Prem Sagar, said she wanted Indian forces to kill at least 10 Pakistani troops to avenge her father. | |
Many on social media have shared similar sentiments using the hashtag badlalo (take revenge). | |
Some anger has also been directed at Mr Modi, making #ModiWeakestPMever one of the top trending hashtags in India on Tuesday. | |
Others have pointed out that Mr Modi was yet to appoint a full-time defence minister after Manohar Parrikar left the post to become the chief minister of the coastal state of Goa. | |
India's finance minister Arun Jaitley, who is also in charge of the defence ministry, said the incident was "reprehensible and inhuman". | |
"Such acts are unheard of even during wars and definitely never in peace time," he said in a statement broadcast on Indian television. | "Such acts are unheard of even during wars and definitely never in peace time," he said in a statement broadcast on Indian television. |

But Pakistan rejected the allegation, saying its army "was a highly professional force" and it would "never disrespect a soldier, even Indian". | |
"Indian blame of mutilating Indian soldiers' bodies are also false," it said. | |
