Kanpur/Lucknow: The father of Mohammad Saifulla, the Islamic State Khorasan terrorist killed in an encounter by Uttar Pradesh Anti Terrorism Squad, today flatly refused to accept his body. "This is not in the country's interest to give Saifulla any respect. We will not accept the body of an anti-national", Sartaj told mediapersons in Kanpur, from where the terrorist belonged.
"Ye desh-hitt mein nahi tha hum usse naraz hain, aise deshdrohi ki laash nahi lenge" (It is not good for the country to accept his body, such anti-national's body should not be taken ). Giving details about how Saifulla joined the ISIS module, Sartaj said ''Two-and-a-half-months back, he left home after I beat him up for not working. He called me last Monday, saying he's going to Saudi. This was the only chat I had with him recently". (UNI)
