The Defence Experts on Thursday exhorted the government to take a severe punitive action against Pakistan which "has been lying over its involvement in the mutilation of two Indian soldiers' bodies.

Defence Expert PK Sehgal told ANI that Pakistan was in a denial mode over its involvement in Krishna Ghati's barbaric act despite all the evidences against it.

"We have clinching evidence and same has been conveyed to the Pakistan high commissioner, but we must not waste time in focussing in this area as Pakistan will remain in denial mode. The sooner we teach them a lesson it would be better from both Pakistan's point of view as well as nation's point of view," said Sehgal.

He said considering the nation's mood, the government must take swift and solid action against Pakistan."The entire nation is looking forward to a very swift and a very solid and punitive response from the Indian army. If the government doesn't give a go ahead in a meaningful time frame the government's credibility would be severely degraded," he added.

Resonating similar sentiments, another Defence Expert Praful Bakshi told ANI that it was obvious that Pakistan will deny mutilating two Indian soldiers' bodies. "It is obvious that Pakistan will deny carrying out a heinous task of mutilating our soldiers' bodies". But, the blood trail is leading across. The matter stands still and Pakistan's denial is very serious," he added.

He said India should change its policy of not to attack first as Pakistan was taking advantage of it."Pakistan is showing aggression all along the border. Pakistan is taking advantage of Indian policy of not attacking first. We have to change our policy from reactive to proactive. Our intelligence tells us where the terrorists are coming from. India need not wait for the attack but should take pre-emptive action," he said.

Defence Minister Arun Jaitley yesterday said Pakistan's denial of any cross Line of Control movement by its troops and mutilation of Indian soldiers' carries no credibility.
