Some even referred to him as the racist communist homophobe leader ‘Che Guevara’.

You will be missed…forever #BurhanWani
He knew it well how to fight the evil occupiers.#BuriedInOurHeart #8JulyBurhanDay#KashmirBleeds pic.twitter.com/BJdwmSubQr
Occupational forces used to think there would be an end to resistance in #Kashmir after martyrdom of #BurhanWani. Kashmir lost one Burhan to give birth to thousands of Burhan.

Burhan Wani
In a fierce battle, Burhan Wani was eliminated by security forces on 8th July 2016 in the Kokernag area of the Anantnag district. For several years Burhan Wani had managed to stay away from the grasp of the security forces. Following his death, several people rushed to whitewash his image. Journalist Barkha Dutt termed him as a “son of school headmaster”. Former J&K CM Omar Abdullah was more worried about the aftermath of Wani’s death, instead of congratulating the army. Activist Kavita Krishnan, on the other hand, condemned the supposed “extrajudicial killing” of Wani.
