Sushma seeks revenge, wants govt to act tough against Pakistan

New Delhi, 14 Jan 2013: BJP leader SushmaSwaraj has sought revenge against the brutal beheading of Lance Naik Hemraj by Pakistani troops.

 

If they don’t give us one head, we should bring back ten heads, Sushma said talking to reporters after meeting the family of the martyr.

 

Sushma slammed the Centre for what she called a muted response to the Pakistani aggression and sought an apology from the government.

 

The government should act tough as the country was angry, Sushma said.

 

She hit out at the government for not giving the martyr his due.

 

The martyr’s family is rightfully upset with the government, she said.

 

The defence minister or at least the minister of state for defence should have attended the martyr’s funeral, Sushma said.

 

Sushma Swaraj was part of a BJP delegation, that included party chief Nitin Gadkari and Rajnath Singh, that met the family of the martyr in Shernagar village in Mathura district, about 350 km from Lucknow.
