New Delhi, July 11 (IBNS): The Indian Army might have triggered unfavourable sentiments against them after the recent killing of Burhan Wani, but they found support from Congressman Ghulam Nabi Azad, who said that a terrorist has to die someday.

"Burhan Wani was a terrorist and one who inflicts terror has to die some day," Azad was quoted as saying by INC India on their official Twitter page   

The death was however condemned by Pakistan.

"The extrajudicial killing of Kashmiri leader Burhan Wani and scores of other innocent Kashmiris is deplorable and condemnable. Such acts are a violation of fundamental human rights of Kashmiris and can not deter the people of Jammu and Kashmir from their demand for the realisation of the right to self determination," Pakistan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement.

"Pakistan also has serious concerns over the detention of Kashmiri leadership in Indian Occupied Kashmir and calls upon the Indian government to fulfill its human rights obligations as well as its commitments under the United Nations Security Council Resolutions," the statement read.

"Pakistan reiterates that the resolution of the Jammu and Kashmir dispute is only possible by the realisation of the right to self determination of the people of Jammu and Kashmir, as per the UNSC resolutions, through a fair and impartial plebiscite under UN auspices," the statement concluded.
