The AAP on Tuesday condemned the mutilation of the bodies of two Indian soldiers by the Pakistan Army as "barbaric" and said it will back whatever steps the government takes.

"The act is not only barbaric but also against humanity. The AAP is with the central government and Prime Minister (Narendra Modi) on this issue," Aam Aadmi Party spokesperson Ashutosh told reporters.

"The party will support the Prime Minister in whatever steps he takes on the issue." He said the AAP's sympathies were with the families of the deceased soldiers.

India has accused the Pakistan Army of killing a soldier and a BSF trooper and "mutilating" their bodies near the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir on Monday.
