Burhan Wani, the young leader murdered by Indian forces, has emerged as the symbol of the latest Kashmiri “Intifada”, a popular and peaceful freedom movement, led by Kashmiris, young and old, men and women, armed only with an undying faith in the legitimacy of their cause, and a hunger for freedom in their hearts. He again raked up the Kashmir issue and said that peace between India and Pakistan is not possible without resolution of the ‘Kashmir issue’.
