India has angered Pakistan by revoking Kashmir's 'special status' and sending thousands of troops into the fractious area.
Internet services on mobile phones were also cut to around seven million people in the Himalayan region, where most people oppose Indian rule, yesterday.
This is a common tactic to prevent anti-India demonstrations from being organized and to stop the dissemination of news.
Home Minister Amit Shah announced the revocation of Article 370 amid an uproar in India's two houses of parliament.

ReplyDelete"In a bold move, India has revoked the special status given to the state of Jammu & Kashmir. Further the state will be bifurcated and there will be two new union territories instead of two new states. This is of significance not only to India but internationally. Pakistan claims that Kashmir should become part of Pakistan. This will make radical Islamic forces invigorated in Pakistan. India and Pakistan are two nuclear armed neighbors that have fought three wars on the issue of Kashmir. China is fully aligned with Pakistan against India on the Kashmir issue. There is potential for this issue to escalate."
Is it me or is all this increasing? This?; Chinese threats, NK non conform, Iran etc etc etc. Might need to invest in a bunker - LOL
