Rabia Butt questions India's illegal move in occupied Kashmir

'How can India claim Kashmir when its people don't want that,' the model wrote

Model Rabia Butt has few thoughts about the ongoing tensions in Indian Occupied Kashmir.

Taking to Twitter, Butt shared, "I do want to talk about you, Kashmir, but don’t know what to begin with because if we, coming from Pakistan say anything related to you, India starts assuming that we want you to be a part of us or we want them to release a part which they call theirs. Whereas in reality it’s the opposite."

Addressing Indians, she went on, "We are only demanding and seeking for Justice. Being an outsider what we have been seeing and hearing, the constant weeps of Jammu and Kashmir from miles away, why can’t the rest of you see it? We being a human just want and wish the world and India to hear what Kashmir has been telling them for so long now."

Butt also added how the unsettling history of the state has been going on for more than 50 years.

"This isn’t a matter of year or two, this has been going on for more than 50 years, for God sake. If only a bunch of people wanted to get separated from India, we could have turned a deaf ear too but it’s the voice of whole of Kashmir. Can’t you hear it?" she continued.

"May be by applying all the forceful resources you have, by scrapping of Article 370, by locking down their political leaders, by increasing your security forces there, by cutting down all the communication ways, by using the cluster bombs on the kids or by shedding the blood of innocent people so openly, you may think you can oppress them or shut their voices down for now but how long you think it can go along?" the model questioned.

"How can you make Kashmir yours, when its residents don’t want it in the first place. I urge from the common people of India to have a heart and not to believe what their political people have been telling them same as ours. Don’t we all want a peaceful world where everyone is living happily?" she added. "You think by taking so many innocent lives or by keeping our mouth shut we will ever be in a state to live our lives? This will haunt you and all of us for many more generations to come. May Allah have the mercy on all of us and give us the courage to stand with right."

Earlier, many Pakistani celebs voiced their support for the Indian occupied Kashmir.
