Demanding an "eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth", Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh on Monday wanted coercive action against Pakistan now in the wake of the Pulwama terror attack, saying India should get two of them for every soldier killed in the carnage.
Asserting that the entire country was "fed up" with the senseless killings of Indian soldiers in Kashmir, Singh said the coercive action could be military, diplomatic or economic, or a combination of all the three.
Calling for the death of two "of them" for every Indian soldier killed in the attack on the CRPF convoy last Thursday, Singh said it's clear that the Pakistan Army was calling the shots, with Prime Minister Imran Khan also a "plant" of the military.
"We should get 82 of them since 41 of our men have been killed," asserted Singh, a former army captain, while demanding an "eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth".
Singh said it was for the Centre to decide what action should be taken, but it was clear that some measures have to be taken urgently.
"India wants it now," he said.
"No one is asking anyone to go to war, but these killings of soldiers are not a joke. Something has to be done. I'm fed up, the country is fed up," he said, according to an official release issued here.
The chief minister said the Indian government should take "whatever measures" are required and "we will support them."
