Hizb-ul-Mujahideen leader Salahuddin’s interview is a lesson for those who have expressed their sympathies for Burhan Wani. Salahuddin has in no uncertain terms stated that Burhan Wani was a militant who would attack security forces with weapons he received from Pakistan. The interview should serve as a warning for those who have been instigating the people of Kashmir by declaring him a martyr and thereby fanning militancy in the area. This is difficult to comprehend since these sympathisers are not from Pakistan but belong to our own country. Such people should pause and think before making a hero out of Burhan Wani.
