"Planting IEDs in the bodies of our soldiers by the Naxals is a completely barbaric act. All human rights groups should come out and roundly criticise this. Human rights are not just for Naxals but also for the police and our soldiers," BJP spokesperson Nirmala Sitharaman said.
BJP termed this an act of terrorism and condemned it.
"Government of India should take a serious view of this incident and work with the state governments to deal with it," Sitharaman said.
