"Severe Consequences": US Senators On Kashmir Before Trump's India Visit

Ahead of US President Donald Trump's India visit later this month, four top US senators have written to US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, expressing concern about the internet curbs in Kashmir more than six months after Jammu and Kashmir's special status was scrapped under Article 370, as well the preventive detentions of political leaders. In their letter, the senators also expressed concern over the Citizenship (Amendment) Act or CAA that triggered protests across the country. Last week, the draconian Public Safety Act was invoked against two former Chief Ministers, Omar Abdullah and Mehbooba Mufti, to extend their custody. The stringent law allows detention without trial for up to three months and multiple extensions.
