HYDERABAD, India – Indian Opposition leader has badly exposed PM NarendraModi false claims over Occupied Kashmir crisis.

Communist Party of India (CPI) General Secretary Doraisamy Raja hasrevealed that the situation in Indian-occupied Kashmir (IoK) was much worsethan it was being perceived outside the territory.

Raja, who was part of Indian National Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’sdelegation intending to visit the besieged territory of Kashmir, saidpeople have been suffering with no access to food, medicines and otheressential commodities. A part of the opposition’s 11-member delegation thatvisited Srinagar was forced to return from the airport, he deplored.

He added the abrogation of provisions of Article 370 by the Modi governmentwas not only “undemocratic but also unconstitutional.” “On the one hand,the Modi-led government has brought Kashmir at par with other states as perthe Constitution, but at the same time it is unwilling to apply theConstitution to Kashmir”.

“This situation is not normal at all [in Kashmir]. People should understandthis. No telephone is working there. They [the government] say thatlandlines are working, but no, we tried. No internet is working, notelephone working,” the CPI leader said.

“Schools and colleges are open, but students are not going. Parents are notready to send their children to schools. People are not able to go to thehospital. There is a curfew in Kashmir. Why should it continue [ifeverything is normal]?” he added.

He said the opposition leaders were first invited by the IoK’s Governor tocome and see the situation in the territory, but he, Rahul Gandhi and othermembers of the opposition parties at the Srinagar airport, were not evenallowed to meet the people or venture out of the airport.
