Muslim Neighbours Help Perform Last Rites Of Kashmiri Pandit In Pulwama

Mohammad Yousuf Malik, a childhood classmate of the dead man, said his area has always been known for Hindu-Sikh-Muslim unity.

Reviving the memories of the glorious traditions of communal harmony in Jammu and Kashmir, Muslim neighbours in this town helped perform the last rites of a Kashmiri Pandit who died last evening.

Ashok Kumar Wangoo died at his residence at Drangabal in Pampore town on Tuesday around 5.00 pm. He was rushed to the hospital where doctors declared him dead on arrival.

Instead of taking the body to Jammu, the Kashmiri Pandit community decided to perform the last rites here. The members of the minority community expressed their gratitude to local Muslims for standing by their side through thick and thin.
