    The father of Hizbul Mujahideen commander Burhan Wani whose death on July 8 sparked off the current violent unrest in Kashmir Valley has met spiritual guru Sri Sri Ravi Shankar at his ashram in Bengaluru.
     
    The spiritual guru, the founder of the Art of Living, on Saturday tweeted a photo of himself with Wani's father, Muzaffar Wani.
     
    "Muzaffar Wani, the father of Burhan Wani was in the ashram for the last 2 days. We discussed several issues," Ravi Shankar tweeted.
     
    The news of the meeting was also retweeted by the Art of Living foundation.
     
    Burhan Wani, 22, educated and media savvy, had emerged as the poster boy of terrorism. He was killed in a gunfight with security forces on July 8 in the Kokernag area of south Kashmir.
     
    News of his death sparked massive protests across Kashmir, with thousands coming to attend his funeral.
     
    Over 70 people have died in clashes with security forces in Kashmir Valley since Wani's death.
