New Delhi: Government Tuesday cautioned against "jingoism" after the BJP upped the ante on the issue of beheading of an Indian soldier by Pakistani Army along the Line of Control.

"Professional Armies respect rules of engagement. Transgressions are surmounted through tactical responses and not driven by jingoism," Information and Broadcasting Minister Manish Tewari told reporters.

His comments came a day after BJP leader Sushma Swaraj said that if Pakistan does not return the head of martyred soldier Hemraj, India should get at least ten heads from the other side.

After visiting Hemraj's family along with party president Nitin Gadkari and leader Rajnath Singh yesterday, Swaraj had said, "The question is: will we sit without any reaction and engage in a dialogue?... That is why we have said that government should take some tough measures".

The Double Face of the Most Dangerous Outfit (Sangh Pariwar) in the Civilized World. Their Rabble Rousers Sushma Swaraj, Nitin Gadkari and Rajnath Singh seen Instigating and Provoking the Aam Bholi Bhaali Janta on Monday afternoon while on their visit for Photo Ops in Mathura District for their Nautanki at Shaheed Hemraj Singh`s House. These Venomous Vultures are so Impatient and Power Hungry that, ``Apni rotiyan sekne ke liye Shaheedon ko bhi nahin baqshte. Ye log Laashon pe Sauda karte hain. 2006 me in logon ko Maut Ka Saudaagar bilkul sahi Naam diya gaya tha.`` Their own PM Vajpayee went to Lahore for Bus Party, Invited Musharraf for Agra Party, Got Parliament attacked, Delivered the most Dangerous Terrorists Masood Azhar and Others through their Courier Jaswant Singh to Kandhar, are now shedding Crocodile Tears for 10 Heads. This is Sheer `Mauqa Parasti` and nothing else.

Absolutely agree. The reason BJP was out of power was they became another congress by all the above deeds. BJP must answer the people why the did all his if they ever want to come back to power. The Mango people do not want another congress with ideas derived from the Mughal Empire..........karmik
