Kashmir valley leaders compare Delhi clampdown to post-2019 restrictions

Political leaders in Kashmir valley have likened recent security clampdowns in Delhi to the restrictions imposed in the region following August 2019, when the government revoked Jammu & Kashmir's special status under Article 370.

Valley leaders have expressed concern over what they describe as a "chilling reminder" of the communication and movement restrictions that were enforced in Kashmir for an extended period after the constitutional changes.

The comparison underscores growing apprehension among Kashmir's political establishment regarding perceived similarities in security protocols and their impact on civil liberties in both regions.
