Passport issue
This refers to the news that some pro-freedom leaders are striving to get passport for their kins. For the sake of argument if the news is considered true, still we the people of Kashmir must not forget the contributions these people have made. People like Aasiya Andrabi, Syed Ali Shah Geelani, Ashraf Sahrahi, Qasim Faktoo etc. have spent their whole life for the cause of this Nation and its people. Their children rarely get time to be with them. They move from pillar to post for their life. So a blind criticism is not totally justified.
