"Dear Mr PM, if we cared for Kashmir people, we wouldn't find ways to turn off all communications in the Valley only to further deprive them of freedom, we'd open up all means for their voices to be heard. Because isn't that all Kashmir people are asking for? (sic)" Fatima Shaheen, based in Georgia state of the US, wrote.
She said she arrived in Kashmir on July 10 for a visit to her relatives only to find the Valley in a situation which she had never heard of.
She claimed no cared about people of Kashmir but everyone wanted its land.
"Everyone wants Kashmir, but no one cares for the people of the land. Because if we cared for Kashmir people, we wouldn't care of people's opinion on whether Burhan Wani was a militant or a martyr, we'd try to understand why an ace student chose to continue his career holding a gun rather than a pen (sic)," she wrote.
