Maharaj said it was very unfortunate that the BJP-PDP government in the state has cleared the ex-gratia.
He said that by giving compensation to the family members of Burhan Wani, Mehbooba has shown her "real face".
Khalid was killed in anti-insurgency operations carried out by security forces in Tral in Pulwama district of Jammu and Kashmir on April 13 last year.
