Human shield

Those who criticise the incident of tying a civilian to an Army jeep should remember that the person was a stone pelter (“It saved lives, says Major Gogoi”, May 24). Also those who term the incident as “inhuman” should explain how pelting stones and burning Army vehicles and police stations isn’t. Aren’t Army personnel human beings? In this incident, no one was tortured nor injured. There was no bloodshed.
