Joint Letter from All Party Parliamentary Group on Kashmir

Joint Letter from All Party Parliamentary Group on Kashmir
Agreed at a meeting of the group on 31 October, 2012

To His Excellency,
Parnab Mukharjee
President of Republic of India,
New Delhi, India

We the undersigned members of parliament would like to appeal to your office to order the mortal remains
of Kashmiri leader, Maqool Butt, who was executed in Tihar jail, on 11th February, 1984 and buried within
the jail premises, to be handed back to his family in Kashmir or to his children living in Pakistan.
We make this appeal on humanitarian grounds as Maqbool Butt’s family members were not allowed to see
him at the time of his execution and have waited long enough to receive his dead body for a decent burial in
Kashmir.
