NYT Calls upon UN to Oppose Modi's 'Brutal' Kashmir Clampdown
The New York Times has called upon the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) to “make clear that it opposes Mr Modi’s brutal tightening of India’s control on [Occupied] Kashmir”, dismissing the Indian leader’s claim that he could control the volatile conflict on his own.
Indian Occupied Kashmir (IOK) has been seething with rage since the Hindu nationalist prime minister of India revoked the semi-autonomous status of the disputed Himalayan territory on August 5, clamping curfew in the Muslim-majority valley and detaining thousands of people, including politicians, lawyers and journalists.
IOK remains literally cut off from the world since – with no phone or internet service while tens of thousands of Indian troops are running amok, detaining, beating and torturing people with impunity.
