I am proud father of Amar Shaheed Lt. Saurabh
Kalia of 4 JAT Regiment of the Indian Army who laid down his life at
the
prime age of 22 for the Nation while doing duty of guarding the
frontiers at
Kargil. The parents, the Indian Army but the whole nation lost a
dedicated, honest and brave son. He was the first officer to detect and
inform Pak
intrusion. Pakistan captured him and his patrol party of 5 brave men
alive on 15th May, 99 from our side of LOC. They were in
their captivity for 3 weeks and subjected to unprecedented brutal
torture as
evident from their bodies handed over by Pakistan Army on 9th June,
99.They
indulged in dastardly acts of burning bodies with cigarettes, piercing
ears with hot rods, removing eyes before puncturing them, breaking most
of
the bones and teeth, chopping off various limbs and private organs of
these soldiers besides inflicting unimaginable physical and mental
tortures. They were shot dead ultimately. (A detailed post-mortem
report
is with the
Indian Army) This continued for about 22 days. Pakistan dared to
humiliate India this way flouting all international norms. To what an
extreme humanity can be degraded, Pakistan provided an example.
However,the
Indian soldiers did not break while undergoing all this unlimited
barbarism.
This speaks volumes of their patriotism, grit, determination, tenacity
and
valour and the whole nation should be proud of them. All over the
country
there is unprecedented anger and outrage at this tragedy.
Sacrificing oneself for the nation is an honour every soldier
would love to do but no parents, army or nation can accept what
happened
to
these brave sons of India. I am afraid every parent would think twice
to
send their wards in the armed forces if we all fall short of our duty
of
safeguarding the PRISONERS OF WAR AND LET THEM MEET THE FATE
OF LT. SAURABH KALIA. It may also send a demoralising signal to the
Army
personnel fighting for the Nation that our POWs in Pak cannot be taken
care of.
It is a matter of shame and disgust that most of Indian
Human Rights Organisations by and large, showed apathy in this matter.
Through this humble submission, may I appeal to all the civilised
people
irrespective of
colour, caste, region, religion and political lineage to stir their
conscience and rise to take
this as a NATIONAL ISSUE? International Human Rights Organisations must
be approached
to expose and pressurise Pakistan to identify, book and punish all
those
who
perpetrated this heinous crime to our men in uniform.
If Pakistan is allowed to go unpunished in this case, everyone can
imagine the
consequences. This is the list of 5 other soldiers who preferred to die
for the country
rather than open their mouths in front of enemy.
