BJP: Kashmiris Who Glorify Terrorists Should Learn From Sartaj Who Refused To Take His Son’s Dead Body
Sartaj, father of the terrorist who was killed in Lucknow.
Appreciating the step taken by the father of Saifullah, the ISIS terror accused killed in an operation in Lucknow, by not accepting his son’s body, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Thursday said that extremist elements in Kashmir should take lessons from the former rather than glorifying a terrorist.
“I appreciate his father who said I will not accept an anti-national body, it is a lesson for the people of Kashmir who glorify a terrorist body by taking out huge procession for funerals,” BJP leader S. Prakash told ANI.
Earlier on Wednesday, the father of Saifullah, Sartaj refused to accept his son’s body saying "a traitor" is no son of theirs. "A traitor can't be our son. We are Indians, we were born here, our forefathers were born here. One who indulges in anti-national activities can't be our son...we won't accept his body," Sartaj said.
Saifullah was killed by commandos in a house on the outskirts of Lucknow earlier on Wednesday morning after an exchange of fire with the police for about a 12-hour. The police recovered eight pistols, three passports, more than 600 cartridges, bomb-making instruments, timers, wires, compass etc.
