Janata Dal(U) president Sharad YadavTuesday said it would be appropriate for the government to handover the body of Parliament attack convict Afzal Guru, who washanged till death on February 9, to his family.
"It is my personal opinion that Guru's body should behanded over to his family as it is their legal right," Yadavtold media persons here.
Alleging that the government did not handle the issuewith the sensitivity involved in such a matter, he said when26/11 Mumbai attack convict Ajmal Kasab's family was informedabout his hanging in advance, then why was Guru's family nottold about it on time?
The NDA convener also took a dig at the government forsending the information about Guru's hanging to his familymembers through speed post that reached them after hisexecution.
In such matters it is the right of the family to knowabout the execution in advance, he said.
