JDU chief and NDA convener Sharad Yadav has appealed to the Prime Minister to return Afzal Guru's body to his family.

The family of Parliament attack convict Mohammad Afzal Guru yesterday said their only demand was that the Centre return his body to enable them to give him a proper burial.

"We have no other demand...the only thing we want is that Afzal's body be returned to us," Mohammad Yasin, a cousin of Guru, said over phone from Sopore.

He said the family has written a letter to Tihar Jail authorities as well as Deputy Commissioner Baramulla seeking that Guru's body be given to them.
