She said that the brave Burhan Wani would always be remembered and his struggle for the Kashmir cause would be accomplished at all costs.

Wani was remembered on both sides of the Line of Control for his struggle against the occupying Indian forces.

Wani, a resident of Tral and commander of the Hizbul Mujahideen, was martyred along with two associates by the Indian troops in a fake encounter in Kokernag area on July 8 in 2016. His martyrdom had triggered a sustained wave of violent protests that claimed the lives of at least 100 civilians.
