The Indian army on Wednesday, Feb 14, indirectly asked politicians not to communalise martyrs, a day after AIMIM president and Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi revealed that five out of seven soldiers killed in the Sunjuwan military camp attack were Muslims.

"We don't communalise martyrs, those making statements don't know the army well," said Northern Army Commander Lieutenant General Devraj Anbu.

On Tuesday Owaisi slammed those questioning the patriotism of Muslims, while making a reference to the fact that five army soldiers killed by terrorists at the Sunjuwan army camp in Jammu were Muslims.

General Anbu also expressed concern over the local youth in Kashmir joining militancy saying "the trend needed to be addressed."

"The enemy is frustrated and is trying for softer targets, when they fail at borders they attack on camps. Yes, youths joining militancy is a concern, we need to address this trend," he said.

While warning anyone who picks up arms against the state, the army commander said they will be dealt with sternly.

"Anyone who picks up an arm and is against the state, is a terrorist and we will deal with him," he said.

He said that Hizb-ul-Mujahideen, Jaish-e-Mohammed and Lashkar-e-Toiba were hands in glove in carrying attacks.

"Whether it's in Valley or here (Jammu), there is no differentiation. They keep jumping from one tanzim (outfit) to other," Gen Abbu said.

He also blamed social media for acting as a catalyst in brewing militancy. "Social media is also responsible for increase in terror, it's engaging the youth at a large scale and I think we need to focus, " he said.

"Anyone who picks up an arm and is against the state, is a terrorist and we'll deal with him."

He said that Hizb-ul-Mujahideen, Jaish-e-Mohammed and Lashkar-e-Toiba terror outfits were hands in glove in carrying attacks. "Whether it's in Valley or here (Jammu), there is no differentiation. They keep jumping from one tanzim (outfit) to other," Gen Abbu said.

While those people who are associated with anti-nationals have the time to tweet and comment about a boy in remote African village, completely shut their b.. mouth to praise the brave soldiers who laid their lives to safeguard India. No comment on anti-nationals who questioned the preparedness of Indian armed forces. No comment on anti-national BJP IT wing of Madhya Pradesh who sell military intelligence to Pakistan. When Owaisy asks a genuine question - it strikes the very nerve centre of these people. These two sets of rules, laws and approach is dangerous to the unity of the nation.

"I am not able to breathe, I pleaded but they did not continue oxygen for the last three hours. I am not able to breathe anymore daddy, it's like my heart has stopped, Bye daddy. Bye to all, daddy," these were apparently the final words of the man, who spoke in his local dialect, and shared on social media.

Several reports have claimed that the man had been admitted to government Chest hospital, after several private hospitals refused to admit him. His ventilator support was allegedly taken off in the hospital, after which he recorded the video message.
