Srinagar: Slain terrorist Burhan Wani's father Muzaffar Wani on Sunday hoisted the Indian flag at a government school in Jammu and Kashmir's Tral region.

India is celebrating Independence Day and the flag hoisting ceremony was a part of the event.

Burhan Wani's father is a headmaster in a government school in the region.

The image of Muzaffar Wani hoisting the flag has gone viral on the social media.

"Burhan Wani's father hoisted Indian Flag in his school in Kashmir. I was Corps Commander when Burhan was eliminated. His father's views were vitriolic then. Nice to see this change in him and in many Kashmiri hearts. We need to create hope in the minds of our misguided children," Retd Army General Satish Dua tweeted.
