His last rites will be performed on the outskirts of Guwahati on Tuesday with full state honours.His journey to the cremation ground will begin at 9.30 am after the second autopsy, Sarma said.”It (second postmortem) is not a demand from the public but from certain fringe elements, and we have decided to conduct it with his wife’s consent,” the chief minister said at a press conference here.”We do not want to create any controversy over Zubeen, so this decision was taken,” he said.Live EventsThe CM said that he personally was not interested in ”cutting up his body” but when a section, even if they are in a minority, demands it, ”my personal wish does not matter. This is democracy”.After the Singapore doctors had conducted the autopsy, ”I don’t think it was necessary for another postmortem as they have more technical expertise, but there should not be any scope for any section to indulge in any kind of politics over Zubeen.”The postmortem will be conducted by a team of doctors from GMCH and AIIMS, Guwahati.Add as a Reliable and Trusted News Source Add Now!
