New Delhi:

Narendra Modi government on Monday betrayed the martyrdom of Captain Saurabh Kalia of the 4 Jat Regiment, who was captured by the Pakistani Army with 5 other officers during the Kargil war in 1999.

Centre has decided to bury the case by saying that moving the International Court of Justice (ICJ) against Pakistan is not practicable.

This was the same demand which was raised by Kalia's father in Supreme Court during Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s regime, however, now is impracticable.

Capt Kalia was tortured brutally and sent back to India with his eardrums pierced with hot rods, eyes punctured and removed, most of his teeth and bones broken, and limbs and genitals cut or chopped off.

A video of a Pakistani soldier admitting the same went viral on YouTube a year ago.

When their bodies were handed over to India by the Pakistan Army on June 9, there was nationwide outcry for justice against the way these prisoners of war were treated in violation to the Geneva Convention on treatment of war prisoners.

After 16 years, the same government which raised the rhetoric against Pakistan, has informed the Parliament that it is not feasible for India to pursue the matter in the international court of law.

Similar reply was made by the UPA government in Supreme Court last year in February.
