Okay, only one thing I would ask, in this case had she applied for a visa attaching a letter of recommendation from Sartaz Aziz office?

If she didnt, the reason cited for rejection be an incorrect application and not "deteriorating relations".

A country of 200 million should be able to provide medical care to its citizens. Instead of blaming India you guys should flog your politicians

Although India is under no obligation to give visa, its inhuman and barbaric to deny a cancer patient medical visa because our diplomatic relations. This has nothing to do with aman ki asha or loving your neighbor, and govt of India does not even need to spend a penny.
Pakistan not having affordable tertiary care for her citizens is completely different issue(its a matter of economics as much as priority).

No the letter was being requested more than two months ago.
Its only in the last two months that they have not issued visas.
And even if the letter was missing, the reason cited would be an incorrect application, and definitely not the reason why a letter is required.
what is the reason for rejecting the visa ?
this is not the place for politics
coming to USA for medical treatment is not an option unless you are in top 1% of Pakistanis. Canada is out of question because of wait times

Of late ,Pakistanis have begun behaving like some BD posters - they blame their PM for everything without wondering if things were any better in the subject they criticise for before their current PM came to power.
@ Subject, the med institution the lady has chosen for treatment is not even close to being the best in its field.

A brilliant move.
Pak foreign adviser to recommend cases for medical visa to India.
Indian Minister for External Affairs Sushma Swaraj on Monday said that visas will be issued to Pakistani patients on the recommendation of Adviser to the Prime Minister on Foreign Affairs Sartaj Aziz.
Last week, the Indian Embassy rejected the visa application of Faiza Tanveer, citing deteriorating relations between the two countries as the reason for refusal.
Tanveer was due to receive treatment at the Inderprastha Dental College and Hospital (IDCH) in Ghaziabad for a recurrent ameloblastoma, a cancerous oral tumour which is aggressive in nature.
After Tanveer was denied her visa, she appealed to politicians in both countries to help facilitate her application.
"I have my sympathies for all Pakistan nationals seeking medical visa for their treatment in India," Swaraj said in the first of a series of tweets.

Visa for Jadhav's mom: In blistering tweets, Swaraj slams Sharif's aide Sartaj Aziz
Shailaja Neelakantan| TIMESOFINDIA.COM | Updated: Jul 10, 2017, 02.35 PM IST
HIGHLIGHTS
NEW DELHI: Union minister Sushma Swaraj on Monday used strong words to hit out at Pakistan's foreign affairs head Sartaj Aziz for not having "the courtesy even to acknowledge" her letter to him urging he grant a visa to Kulbhushan Jadhav's mother.
Jadhav is the Indian national on death row in Pakistan.
External affairs minister Swaraj's comments were primarily intended to clear the air after Pakistani media reports last week said that India has refused medical visas to people from that country,
On Twitter, Swaraj as much as said that it's Aziz's fault that Pakistanis in need of urgent medical attention are unable to come to India. She assured Pakistanis that India is happy to grant medical visas and hoped Aziz "has consideration for the nationals of his country".

The external affairs minister pointed to recently-changed rules that stipulate Pakistanis wanting a visa for urgent medical treatment must get a letter from Aziz. "But I assure Pakistan nationals seeking medical visa with a recommendation from Mr.Sartaj Aziz, we will issue the visa immediately," said Swaraj.

Then, Swaraj delivered her coup de grace.
The minister talked about how India too has a visa application pending "for an Indian national Mrs. Avantika Jadhav who wants to meet her son in Pakistan". It takes a beat to realise she's talking about the mother of Kulbhushan Jadhav, the Indian national sentenced to death by a military court in Pakistan.for allegedly "spying".

Sad to see politics hinder precious treatment needed for this patient. How hard is it for Pakistanis to visit China for treatment? I'm very surprised that Pakistani patients choose India while they may get similar treatment options in China as well.
Sushma is right in her view because we need some reciprocal action too but wish Pakistan would do something for the betterment of it's own patients and well being and not politicize this matter and accuse India as the plethora of articles have attempted to do.
