International experts have warned of disastrous consequences for India if the ongoing situation in Occupied Kashmir continues.
BBC has reported an analysis by professor of international politics at the London School of Economics, Sumantra Bose in which she said India’s unilateral decision of revoking Kashmir`s special status is fraught with challenges.
“Kashmir will no more remain part of India if the ongoing grave situation continues,” she warned.
Bose said the revocation of Article 370 is a fulfillment of Hindu nationalists demand who have vehemently denounced the provision for decades.
