Authorities enforcing a strict curfew in Kashmir will bring in trucks of essential supplies for an Islamic festival next week, as the divided Himalayan region remained in a lockdown following India's decision to strip it of its constitutional autonomy.
Authorities enforcing a strict curfew in Indian-administered Kashmir will bring in trucks of essential supplies for an Islamic festival next week, as the divided Himalayan region remained in a lockdown Saturday after India's decision to strip it of its constitutional autonomy.
India's main opposition leader, Rahul Gandhi, demanded a statement from Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the situation in Kashmir on Saturday, saying there are reports of violence and people dying. New Delhi rushed tens of thousands of additional soldiers to one of the world's most militarized regions to prevent unrest and protests after Modi's Hindu nationalist-led government said Monday that it was revoking Kashmir's special constitutional status and downgrading its statehood. Modi said the move was necessary to free the region of"terrorism and separatism."
The region's top administrative official, Baseer Khan, said that essential commodities including food, grains and meat will be delivered to different parts of the region by Sunday. Pakistani Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi met with his Chinese counterpart and other top officials in Beijing on Saturday. He said that China fully supports Pakistan in taking the Kashmir issue to the U.N. Security Council."When a demographic change is made through force, it's called genocide, and you are moving toward genocide," he told reporters in Islamabad after returning from Beijing.
He also said that while Pakistan is not planning to take any military action, it is ready to counter any potential aggression by India.
