A controversy has erupted over draping of the coffin of a jawan of the 44 Rashtriya Rifles, killed in an improvised explosive device blast in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pulwama district, in the Biju Janata Dal flag with the BJP seeking an unconditional apology from the regional party.

The incident came to light when a photograph of the BJD flag-draped coffin of the Ajit Kumar Sahoo went viral on social media.

The body was taken in a procession to Sahoo’s home district of Dhenkanal after Governor Ganeshi Lal paid tribute on Thursday.
