Mumbai (PTI): In a strong condemnation of the terror attack on the city, the Muslim Council has decided not to permit the burial of the bodies of the nine terrorists who were gunned down by the NSG commandos.

The council is likely to send out a message to all the cemeteries in India that none of the bodies should be buried on Indian soil.

In 2003, a Pakistani national was killed in an encounter and was buried in a cemetery in Mumbai. This time, however, some of the Muslim bodies have decided not to allow the burial of the terrorists considering the gravity of the terror attack.

Congress MLA Bhai Jagtap said that some Muslim organisations had approached him demanding that the terrorists should not be buried in any cemetery in India.

"I am trying to get in touch with senior government and police officials and will forward the message to them," Jagtap said.

The council authorities have handed over a letter to the Marine Letters cemetry, where the bodies were supposed to have been buried.
