Mutilation of soldier’s body as atrocious: Jitendra

Terming the mutilation of a soldier’s body by terrorists as “atrocious”, Union Minister Jitendra Singh on Sunday said human rights of soldiers should take precedence over anybody else’s rights.

“There can’t be anything more atrocious than this,” Singh told reporters here.

“I’m always of the view that the human rights of soldiers should enjoy precedence over human rights of anybody else”, he said.

Yesterday, terrorists, aided by cover fire by Pakistani Army, crossed the Line of Control and killed an Indian army jawan and mutilated his body in Macchil sector of Kashmir’s Kupwara district.
