Condemning Pakistan's "inhuman act" of mutilating bodies of two Indian soldiers, Jeay Sindh Muttahida Mahaz's (JSMM) chairman Shafi Muhammad Burfat on Monday said that Islamabad was indulging in such kinds of acts in order to deviate India's attention from its core political, strategical, and economical role, while adding that Islamabad's existence was based on terrorism.

"Pakistan's existence is based on terrorism. China is deliberately giving millions of dollars to Pakistan under the CPEC initiative to provoke India on the issue of Kashmir," he said.

Burfat further said that Pakistan did not want peace and harmony with its neighbouring countries.

"Pakistan has been repeatedly engaging in such types of act. This time as well Pakistan has proved itself to be a state laden with terrorists. It doesn't desire peace for its neighbouring states," Burfat said.

Burfat further said that Pakistan was acting on the behest of China which looks to expand its base in Indian waters and Islamabad was deliberately keeping India's attention solely on Kashmir.

"On one hand, China has started provoking America through North Korea so that America's priority shifts toward North Korea and on the other end, China has given Pakistan an agenda to keep India's agenda revolve around Kashmir," he said.

Two Indian security force personnel were killed and their bodies were mutilated during an attack by Pakistan's BAT team on a patrol party along the Line of Control (LoC) in Krishna Ghati sector of Poonch district, the Indian Army said.

"In an unsoldierly act by the Pakistan Army the bodies of two of our soldiers in the patrol were mutilated . Such despicable act of Pakistan Army will be appropriately responded," the army said in a tweet.
