BJP MP Sakshi Maharaj Disagrees With PM Modi's "Graveyard'' Remark

Stating that he disagrees with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s recent remarks that equal focus should be put in constructing both graveyards and crematoriums, BJP MP Sakshi Maharaj on Tuesday said there should be no graveyards in the country, and that all Indian citizens, notwithstanding their religious belief, should be cremated. Maharaj also claimed that there is no tradition of constructing graveyards even in Islamic countries, and that bodies are cremated in those countries.
