The Prime Minister added that in Occupied Kashmir, twelve days of curfew, presence of extra troops in an already heavily militarized occupied territory, sending in of RSS goons, and complete communication blackout are similar to the example of Modi’s earlier ethnic cleansing of Muslims in Gujarat.
The prime minister’s tweets come as the curfew and communication blackout entered its 12th day in the occupied valley.
The Indian authorities have been maintaining a strict clampdown in the valley since August 5, after the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) led Hindu nationalist government abolished the Indian constitution’s Article 370 and revoked special status of occupied Kashmir.
