Jammu and Kashmir: Muslim community members help perform last rites of Kashmiri Pandit in Ganderbal
Ganderbal: A beautiful example of communal harmony and brotherhood was witnessed in Jammu and Kashmir's Ganderbal where members of the Muslim community helped to perform the last rites of a Kashmiri Pandit named Avtar Krishan.
The fact that the Muslim residents of the area, who form the majority, came forward to help in the cremation of a member of the minority community, who was living among them, speaks volumes about the secular and tolerant fabric of our society, reports ANI.
The locals who shouldered Krishan’s coffin and arranged for the wood for his cremation have set an example that all communities across the country should emulate, the Indian news agency reported.
Sheikh Bashir, a local civil society member, told the news agency: "It feels like we have lost one of our own."
