2019-11-05 |
[SPUTNIKNEWS] It's been three months since India stripped the disputed region of Jammu and Kashmir![]() Azad (Free) Kashmir. The remainder they refer to as "Indian Occupied Kashmir". They have fought four wars with India over it, the score currently 4-0 in New Delhi's favor. After 72 years of this nonsense, India cut the Gordian knot in 2019, removing the area's special status, breaking off Ladakh as a separate state, and allowing people from other areas to settle (or in the case of the Pandits, to resettle) there.... of its special status, thereby escalating tensions with Pakistain. One person was killed and 18 people injured in a grenade attack on security forces in a market place in Srinagar, the summer capital of Jammu and Kashmir on Monday. The dear departed is reported to be a vendor from the area. This was the second grenade attack in the past fortnight in the same area of the city. Monday’s attack came when markets were open and traffic returned to normal in several parts of Srinagar, after three months of lockdown.
