The two-day foreign diplomatic trip is the first since New Delhi stripped Kashmir of its autonomy and sent in tens of thousands of extra troops in August.

The European Union refused to take part in a rare diplomatic visit to Indian Kashmir starting Thursday because they will not be allowed to meet detained local politicians, reports said.

"EU envoys don't want a guided tour of Kashmir. We want to meet people freely of our own choosing," the NDTV news channel quoted one European diplomatic source as saying. A diplomatic source told AFP that the EU, which has been pressing for months to access to some of those detained, was still keen to go at a later date.

Those going would be"free to interact with people subject to security considerations. No ambassador, however, had specifically asked to meet anyone who was detained," the Times of India quoted a source as saying.
