India today outrightly rejected Pakistan's proposal for UN investigation into Tuesday's incident on Line of Control in which two Indian soldiers were killed with the body of one badly mutilated. Finance Minister P Chidambaram said this in a press conference after the meetings of the Union Cabinet and Cabinet Committe on Security, CCS in New Delhi today. He said India is certainly not going to agree to internationalise the issue or allow the United Nations to hold an inquiry.

That demand is obviously rejected out of hand. The Finance Minister said the issue figured at a meeting of the CCS, which was briefed by Defence Minister A K Antony on the incident. Describing the incident as brutal Chidambaram said, India has taken a serious view of what happened and whatever has to be done will be done. He noted that Pakistan High Commissioner Salman Bashir had been summoned by the Ministry of External Affairs yesterday and a protest lodged.

Chidambaram, asserted that Indian troops had committed no violation of the ceasefire agreement as claimed in a media report. He also said the conduct of the Indian troops was within the guidelines that were agreed upon by the two countries.

Information and Broadcasting Minister Manish Tewari said the action of Pakistani troops was inhuman and the government had taken the matter seriously. He said, we have condemned it and it was a inhuman act.
