India lodged a strong protest against ceasefire violations by Pakistan along the Line of Control (LoC) and voiced concern at the mutilation of the bodies of two jawans – Lance Naiks Hemraj Singh and Sudhakar Singh – killed in Pakistani firing on January 8; Hemraj’s body was decapitated.

“The incident that has happened, we should take revenge… If we don’t get this (Hemraj’s) head, we should get ten of theirs (Pakistan army’s),” Ms Swaraj said. She, along with party president Nitin Gadkari and Rajnath Singh, was visiting Hemraj’s family in Shernagar, Uttar Pradesh. The martyr’s wife and mother were on an indefinite fast demanding that his head be found and returned.
