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

#BurhanWani The Che Guevara of Kashmir. That’s the tweet!

Presumably Pakistani Twitter handles posing as Turkish women also tweeted hailing Burhan Wani.

One Sakibul with Bangladesh flag on his Twitter name claiming to be from Bangladesh also hailed Wani’s ‘sacrifice’.

There is no FREEDOM without SACRIFICE.

You will be missed…forever #BurhanWani

Another Twitter handle claiming to be from Kashmir said how the killing of Wani gave birth to many other Wanis in the valley.

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.
We resist , we exist.

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.
