Ganderbal encounter: National Conference, Congress seek ‘decent burial’ of man killed

MLAs in the J&K Assembly demanded the handover of Rashid Ahmad Mughal’s body for a dignified burial, disputing the Army’s account of the Ganderbal encounter. They asserted the family’s constitutional right to perform last rites, even as a magisterial inquiry is underway. Legislators also called for a judicial probe and a government statement on the incident.
