January 11, 2013 03:38

There is no question that strong language is being used. The Indian external-affairs minister has called the attack on the Indian soldiers "ghastly", while the defence minister is using terms like "inhuman".

India summoned Pakistan's top diplomat in New Delhi for an explanation into the death of two Indian soldiers. The Indians have lodged a protest over the Pakistani army's alleged actions and want Pakistan to issue an appropriate response to Indian concerns.
