India hits out at Pakistan for glorifying terrorist Burhan Wani
External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Gopal Baglay tweeted that Pakistan's terror support and sponsorship needs to be condemned by one and all.
India on Sunday hit out at Pakistan for glorifying terrorist Burhan Wani, saying the country's terror support and sponsorship needed to be condemned by 'one and all'.
Earlier on Saturday, Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif paid tribute to Hizbul Mujahideen commander Burhan Wani saying his death "infused a new spirit in the struggle for freedom" in the Valley. Wani was killed by Indian forces in an encounter on July 8 in 2016.
According to Dunya News, Sharif reiterated that Pakistan remains shoulder to shoulder with their Kashmiri brethren and will continue their political, diplomatic and moral support in their right to self-determination.
Pakistan Army chief Gen Qamar Javed Bajwa also praised Wani.
Last year, India had criticised Sharif calling Wani a "martyr".
Sharif had also announced at the time that Pakistan will observe July 19 as Black Day to express their solidarity with the people of Kashmir.
