Srinagar: Tabassum Guru, wife of Muhammad Afzal Guru of Sopore Kashmir who was hanged on February 9 last year in New Delhi\u2019s Tihar Jail, Monday said she doesn\u2019t expect justice from Central or State government but would continue to demand the return of her husband\u2019s body till her death.<\/div>\n
\u201cI will demand the body of my husband. I will wait for his body till my last breath. He is a Shaheed (martyr) and everybody knows this,\u201d Tabassum told Greater Kashmir.<\/div>\n
\u201cIf they return the body, I wish to be buried besides his grave,\u201d she said.<\/div>\n
Tabassum said they tried to get back Afzal\u2019s body, however there was no reply from Government of India. \u201cMy written request for the return of the body has not been replied till this day,\u201d she said. \u201cI do not expect any justice neither from Government of India nor from J&K Government,\u201d Tabassum said.<\/div>\n
Tabassum said questions by her son Ghalib worry her. \u201cHe always asks me about his father. He was not allowed to meet his father before the hanging and this is the question I have to confront,\u201d she said.<\/div>\n
She said she or her son won\u2019t visit Tihar Jail on the death anniversary of her husband. \u201cWhy should we go? There is no expectation from Government of India. They did not allow my 14-year old son to meet his father before hanging him,\u201d she said.<\/div>\n
\u201cOne day people will get the remains of Afzal and he will be buried here with an<\/div>\n
epitaph on his grave,\u201d she said, adding her wait for the body will never die out till her last breath.<\/div>\n
She blamed J&K Chief Minister Omar Abdullah for hanging of her husband. \u201cOmar Abdullah signed the death warrant a month before hanging of my husband. He knew it all along,\u201d she said, adding Omar Abdullah did not even ask the Center to allow a meeting between Afzal and his family.<\/div>\n
\u201cThey are befooling the people of J&K. The CM just shed crocodile tears after the hanging of my husband.\u201d<\/div>\n
Tabassum is also disappointed with the separatist camp, saying if they would have made efforts, Afzal would not have been hanged. \u201cAjmal Kasab\u2019s hanging was a signal for them, but they made no efforts to save my husband,\u201d she said, without naming any separatist leader or group. \u201cThey are playing their politics,\u201d she said.<\/div>\n
She said now the Government of India has given relief to the assassins of Rajiv Gandhi and Beant Singh who were also given death sentence. \u201cAfzal Sahib was hanged because he was a Muslim,\u201d she said<\/div>\n
