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.
