India arrests top Kashmiri leaders under controversial law

FILE - In this Thursday, Aug. 25, 2016, file photo, Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir state Mehbooba Mufti answers a question during a joint press press conference with Indian Home Minister Rajnath Singh in Srinagar, Indian-controlled Kashmir. Indian authorities arrested two former top elected officials of the disputed Himalayan region of Kashmir, including Mufti, under a controversial law that allows authorities to imprison someone for up to two years without trial, officials said on Friday.

They were among thousands of people detained when Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Hindu nationalist-led governmentand statehood, downgrading them into two federal territories last August. Modi cited Mehbooba Mufti accusing India of cheating Kashmir last summer. He said Omar Abdullah had remarked that ending Kashmir’s autonomy would cause an earthquake that would separate Kashmir from India , though there is no indication Abdullah made any such statement.

They are the top leaders of the National Conference, the party that has governed the Indian-controlled Kashmir for decades since India and Pakistan won independence from British colonialists in 1947 and soon began fighting over control over Kashmir, a Himalayan region spread over both countries. Farooq Abdullah, also a former top elected official of Jammu and Kashmir, is an 82-year-old member of India’s Parliament.

India and Pakistan have fought two wars over control of Kashmir which is divided between the nuclear-armed rivals by a cease-fire line. Both sides claim the Himalayan region in its entirety.

Horrific. Shameful. India is full of human rights violations under Modi and ethnic cleansing. The new Nazis. We need to boycott India.

Its called Internment The Brit Gov know all about it as they have used it for yrs most recently here in the NOI where a lot of innocent people were imprisoned without trial All you have to do was look at a cop the wrong way and you were lifted! Indians learnt it from the Brits!

'Democracy'

The only democracy on the subcontinent was never really a a democracy and with Modi as head of state is nearing a fascist state.
