Pakistan’s Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on Saturday paid tributes to terrorist commander Burhan Wani, saying his death “infused a new spirit in the struggle for freedom” in the Valley.
Sharif in a message on the first death anniversary of Wani’s killing said that India cannot suppress the voice of the people of Kashmir through use of brute force.
Wani, a commander of Hizbul Mujahideen, was killed in an encounter with Indian security forces on this day last year.
“The blood rendered by Burhan Muzaffar Wani has infused a new spirit in the freedom movement. The Kashmiri people are steadfast to take their movement to logical conclusion,” he said.
