Afzal Guru's hanging wrong, badly handled: Tharoor
New Delhi, Feb 9
Terming Parliament attack
convict Afzal Guru's hanging "wrong and badly handled", Congress leader
Shashi Tharoor Monday said his body should have returned to the family.
"I
think the hanging was both wrong and badly handled. Family should have
been warned, given a last meeting and body returned," he tweeted on
second death anniversary of Guru.
Tharoor's comments come after
five Congress legislators in Jammu and Kashmir said in a signed
statement that Guru's hanging was a "mistake".
Guru, who was given a death penalty in the 2001 Parliament attack case, was hanged on Feb 9, 2013.
