New Delhi : JNU student Umar Khalid, known for his involvement in the sedition controversy during which he was detained by the Delhi police along with Anirban Bhattacharya and charged with sedition, compared Hizbul commander Burahna Wani with Che Guera.
“I don't care if I fall as long as someone else picks up my gun and keeps on shooting. These were the words of Che Guevara, but could have just been #BurhanWani's too” said Umar Khaild in a Facebook post.
He also said that “Burhan wasn't scared of death, he was scared of a life lived in subjugation”.
It may be recalled that violence erupted spontaneously in south Kashmir districts of Anantnag, Pulwama, Shopian and Kulgam and later spread to other districts in the valley after security forces killed top Hizbul commander Burhan Wani and two of his associates in Bamdoora (Kokarnag) village of Anantnag district on Friday.
So far 11 people were killed in the protest and as many as 200 were injured.

"I don't care if I fall as long as someone else picks up my gun and keeps on shooting." These were the words of Che Guevara, but could have just been#BurhanWani's too. Burhan wasn't scared of death, he was scared of a life lived in subjugation. He detested it. He lived a free man, died a free man. Doomed is the occupation! Indian state, how will you defeat a people who have defeated their own fears?
Rest in Power, Burhaan!
In complete solidarity with the people of Kashmir!
