Act of restraint?

It was a mortified sight to see our soldiers being heckled and kicked by some local thugs in Jammu and Kashmir on TV screen and social media. Our Army is our pride and being a citizen to the tion, such scenes deeply hurt our mind. But strangely some of the media have started heaping praises on those soldiers for restraining themselves. It is ucceptable to our jawans being insulted and humiliated by the pro-Pakistani people that too in their own motherland. Now, where are the ‘secularists’ and ‘intolerant brigade’ who would raise their hands and shout their heart out on a drop of hat. Our brave soldiers’ does not deserve such insults and in fact I was shocked to see why our jawans did not retaliate fittingly. In future, if our Army retaliates in a fitting manner one should not cry over it.
