I disagree with this Govt. on many issues. But, let me make this absolutely clear: Kashmir is India’s internal issue & there is no room for Pakistan or any other foreign country to interfere in it.

There is violence in Jammu & Kashmir. There is violence because it is instigated and supported by Pakistan which is known to be the prime supporter of terrorism across the world.

The centre revoked Article 370 of the Constitution on earlier in August and reorganized the region into two Union Territories – Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh. Communication services were suspended post the move and curbs were placed on civilian movement with heavy security manning every nook and corner.

Pakistan has made desperate attempts to internationalise the issue but ended up being isolated at every forum with nations acknowledging Jammu and Kashmir to be New Delhi’s internal matter.

The restrictions imposed on J&K post the abrogation of article 370 has been lifted at many places. Phone services and the internet have been restored partially and life in the region is limping back to normalcy.
