Dr N K Kalia, father of Captain Saurabh Kalia who laid down his life for the country during the 1999 Kargil war, has welcomed the words of appreciation spoken by Army Chief General Bikram Singh on the Army Day.
The Supreme Court on Friday issued notice to Centre on Kargil hero Saurabh Kalia's father's plea to take up his son's torture case at International Court of Justice.
A loud sound was heard at around 1 am outside Kalia's residence near Shastri Market in Jalandhar, police said, adding that no one was hurt in the incident.
A petition has been filed with the United Nation Human Rights Council by the Flags of Honour Foundation, Captain Kalia's father Dr N K Kalia and Member of Parliament Rajeev Chandrasekhar, against war crimes and the torture inflicted on Captain Kalia and five jawans by Pakistani forces.
The government of India is doing little to keep the honour and dignity of the officers and jawans of the armed forces intact and continuing to talk peace with Pakistan when it should be showing aggression, says Dr N K Kalia, father of Kargil hero Capt Saurabh Kalia, who was captured by the Pakistan Army in 1999 and subjected to brutal torture.
The Narendra Modi government has refused to move the International Court of Justice against Pakistan in the death of Army Captain Saurabh Kalia.
Captain Saurabh Kalia was captured, tortured and barbarically killed in the Kargil War. For 20 years, his father has waged a war of his own to get justice for his son. Captain Kalia is no more, but he lives on in the home he did not return to.
Those who don't eat fish may include alternatives like chia seeds, flax seeds, walnuts, soybeans and kidney beans, which are rich in Omega-3 fatty acids and offer major health benefits, says Dr Karthiyayini Mahadevan.
'By pursuing this case, Captain Saurabh Kalia and the five soldiers will not come back to us, but this is the least I can do as a humble citizen of India to honour Indian soldiers,' says Dr N K Kalia on his struggle for justice for his son who was brutally tortured, killed and mutilated by the Pakistan army in the Kargil war.
