India imposed strict restrictions, suspended internet service in Occupied Kashmir

In Occupied Kashmir, India has imposed strict restrictions for indefinite period under section 144 and suspended internet service. The Indian authorities have banned movement of public and closed all educational institutions.

Former puppet chief ministers Farooq Abdullah and Mehbooba Mufti have been put under house arrest.

The move has aggravated situation in held territory and Kashmiri leaders have expressed fears that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government may try to withdraw decades-old special rights conferred on the state.

Earlier, a meeting of political leaders held under former chief minister Farooq Abdullah warned against any tinkering with the special status of the occupied territory as guaranteed under Article 35A of the Indian constitution.

Former chief minister Mehbooba Mufti has said in a Tweet that how ironic that elected representatives like them, who fought for peace, are under house arrest.

She said voices of people are being muzzled in Indian Occupied Kashmir.
