Srinagar : CPI-M leader MLA Mohammad Yousuf Tarigami has criticised the BJP-led India government over the August 5, 2019 constitutional changes, saying that political activity and democratic expression in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir continue to face restrictions.<\/p>\n

According to Kashmir Media Service, in a post on X, Tarigami described the 2019 decisions as a “systematic assault” on the relationship between India and IIOJK. He also expressed concern over the delay in restoration of full statehood despite the mandate given in the 2024 Assembly elections.<\/p>\n

Tarigami said the government was using “strong-arm methods” to restrict dissent and press freedom in the territory.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
