Hamza Burhan, a prominent figure linked to the 2019 Pulwama attack, was recently killed in Muzaffarabad, Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. His funeral in Islamabad attracted a significant presence of notorious terror leaders and armed militants, including Syed Salahuddin, the chief of Hizbul Mujahideen, and Bakht Zameen Khan of Al-Badr. Burhan, also known as Arjumand Gulzar Dar and codenamed Doctor, was shot multiple times in the head by unidentified assailants as he left a private college where he worked undercover. He had been living in Muzaffarabad under civilian cover, despite being designated a terrorist by India's Union Home Ministry in 2022 for his involvement in radicalizing youth and financing terror operations. The scenes at his funeral, with armed individuals and ISI-linked figures present, have raised renewed concerns about the connections between Pakistan's state institutions and the militant networks operating within its borders. This event echoes previous instances where senior military and bureaucratic officials attended the funerals of militants, suggesting an ongoing pattern of support for such groups.
