PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti’s daughter Iltija Mufti on Monday said the government was busy with the visit of U.S. President Donald Trump to India, while Delhi was “burning” and eight million Kashmiris were deprived of their fundamental rights. She said the legacy of Mahatma Gandhi was remembered only during visits by foreign dignitaries to the Sabarmati Ashram.

“‘Hi Tea’ & Namastey Trump while Delhi burns & 8 million Kashmiris remain deprived of fundamental rights. Gandhi ji’s legacy remembered only at perfunctory visits to Sabarmati ashram by foreign dignitaries. His values long forgotten,” Ms. Iltija tweeted.
