What is the need for such a Defence Minister when such incidents happen?" Sena MP and spokesperson Sanjay Raut said. Calling for a "befitting" reply from the Indian side, he said, "If our two soldiers are beheaded, we should behead their 40 soldiers." Raut said, on one hand Pakistan cricket team is playing matches in India and on the other Pakistani army is killing our soldiers.
"If such brutal attacks takes place without any war it will demoralise our soldiers and they won't be able to fight for the country," he added.
