NEW YORK, (MANEND NEWS): Pakistan has called on United Nations
General Assembly and other UN human rights bodies to demand that
India should allow the body of veteran Kashmiri leader Syed Ali Gilani,
who passed away last week under Indian detention, to be buried in the
Cemetery of Martyrs in Srinagar as he and his family desired.
Speaking at a high level forum, Pakistan Ambassador to the United
Nations Muir Akram also demanded that the funeral of Syed Ali Gilani
must be held consistent with Muslim customs and traditions; and the
curfew imposed on the valley be lifted to enable his family, relatives
and admirers to participate in his last rites.
The Pakistani Ambassador said the most recent example of Indian
barbarity is the treatment of mortal remains of Gilani, when a heavy
contingent of India’s occupation forces entered Ali Gilani’s home, and
forcibly snatched his dead body, denied the last rites of a Muslim
funeral and buried him in a non-descript place rather than the
Cemetery of Martyrs.
Munir Akram said Gilani’s family members were charged for draping
his body in the Pakistani flag, as he had wished. He said this is the
cowardly and criminal conduct of India’s Hindutva colonizers of
Kashmir.
