Union Minister Harsh Vardhan took a jibe at the opposition parties, amidst the controversy over the "encounter" killing of eight alleged SIMI terrorists by Madhya Pradesh Police, saying that for them "human rights are only for terrorists," while "the lives of soldiers don't matter."

"For Afzal, Yakub, Ishrat, Burhan, Batla (House encounter) they'll cry foul and chatter. Human Rights are for terrorists only, lives of soldiers don't matter," Harsh Vardhan, Minister for Science and Technology, tweeted.

It has become an usual thing that whenever a terrorist is killed, the communists, Congress and the Aam Admi party comes together to raise question about the killing, But, they are conspiciously silent about the sacrifice of the soldiers of the forces.

These political parties are seen like vultures who are aiming at the vote bank politics and are not bothered about the danger the country is facing. They comes out in pilgrimage and visit the killed terrorists familly and announce crores of rupees as compensation but are reluctant to condemn the killing of the soldiers in the line of duty.
