NEW DELHI/ISLAMABAD - Indian authorities need more time to restore order in Kashmir, a Supreme Court justice said on Tuesday as a security clampdown entered a ninth day since New Delhi revoked the region’s special status, triggering protests.
Telephone lines, internet and television networks have been blocked since Aug. 5 when India withdrew Jammu and Kashmir state’s right to frame its own laws and allowed non-residents to buy property there. Menaka Guruswamy, a lawyer for the petitioner, said the court should move to restore hospital services and open schools.Justice Arun Mishra said the government wanted to bring Kashmir back to normal as soon as possible.
Rahul Gandhi, a leader of India’s opposition Congress party, said on Tuesday he and his colleagues want to visit the state, responding to media reports of an invitation from authorities overseeing Kashmir. A police officer told NDTV news network that some of the accounts were run by Pakistan’s spy agency, Inter Services Intelligence .
