“India has deployed tens of thousands of troops across the Kashmir valley in anticipation of a backlash of the revoke.
Indian authorities banned public movements, shut down schools and colleges indefinitely and put two former chief ministers of J&K — Omar Abdullah and Mehbooba Mufti — under house arrest ahead of the announcement.
The two leaders took to Twitter to express their disappointment over the decision and warned of consequences.”
For those unaware of what’s going on, the territory of Kashmir has had the rights stripped away from them-undemocratically-by India.
Kashmir has now gone on a lock down, meaning that citizens are not allowed to protest and have no communicate with the outside world. Please spread this to get the news out!
