More U.S. Lawmakers Raise Concerns On Kashmir

Weeks after India ended the special status for Jammu & Kashmir and reorganised it into two Union Territories, attention on the issue persists in Washington, with many members of the U.S. Congress entering the fray.

“I am excited to see so many members joining us in calling attention to what is happening in Kashmir. Please continue to call your members and ask them to speak up. We expect openness from India,” Representative Ilhan Omar, a Minnesota Democrat, tweeted, referring to a comment from Ted Lieu, a California Democrat in the U.S. House of Representatives.

Earlier in the week, Mr. Lieu had tweeted that he had heard from his constituents that they were unable to reach their families in Kashmir.
