Hurriyat hawk Syed Ali Shah Geelani on Tuesday dropped a bombshell by claiming that Hizbul Mujhadeen terrorist Burhan Muzaffar Wani had spoken to him few days before his death and reposed full faith in his leadership.

"Few days before his martyrdom, Burhan Wani spoke to me over phone and said he is very happy on talking to me since it was his long pending desire," Geelani said while addressing his supporters who had marched to his residence on Tuesday

Hurriyat hawk noted that it was a brief interaction and Burhan told him that "We on our side are trying our best to help this freedom struggle and I have full faith in you that you will also leave no stone unturned to attain the goal of freedom for the Kashmiri nation".

Burhan was killed along with two of his associates in an encounter with security forces at Bamdoora village of Kokarnag in south Kashmir's Anantnag district on July 8.

Kashmir has been simmering and around 49 people have been killed in security forces firing on the mobs since the unrest began. Around 2,228 policemen, 1,100 CRPF men and 2,259 civilians have been injured in the violence so far.

"Burhan was very young, very intelligent and matured Mujahid (militant) Commander whose sincerity exposed the Indian claims in Kashmir. The sacred blood of Hizb Commander has infused a new life into the freedom struggle.

It was his sincerity and piousness which forced the people of the state to come out on the roads against India. Both his life as well as his martyrdom has shaken the Indian power houses," Geelani said.

Hurriyat hardliner cautioned the people against the policies of the pro-Indian people who have different languages at the time of power and out of power. "The height of the shamelessness is that these paid Indian agents openly accuse each other of killing the Kashmiri innocent people and compete on the argument "who killed more" in their respective regimes", he said.

Geelani appealed to people not to give them (pro India politicians) anymore chances to exploit the sentiments of the common Kashmiris. "Everybody in the Jammu & Kashmir knows that the pro-Indian politicians are just stooges of New Delhi and they have nothing in their hands except to hike their own salaries and perks", he said.
