Draconian measures in place by Indian occupying forces to control protests

Following months of turmoil in Indian-occupied Kashmir (IoK), the occupying government is set to impose president’s rule in the valley, Economics Time reported.

The move by the Indian government comes as the earlier imposed governor’s rule in the occupied valley ends on Wednesday.

In June, India’s right-wing Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) pulled out of the governing coalition in IoK because of what it called worsening “terrorism and violence”. The Hindu nationalist party had ruled in the occupied valley since March 2015.

After the BJP’s withdrawal, the state’s governor – a figurehead appointed by New Delhi – was given the responsibility of ruling IoK until fresh elections were held or a new coalition was cobbled together.

In November, Governor Satya Pal Malik dissolved the assembly minutes before Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) laid claim with the support of National Conference and Congress.

The move comes amid a complete lockdown imposed by the Indian occupying forces as civilians take to the streets to march against the death of 11 civilians in Pulwama.

Police and Indian para-military forces put up barricades in various parts of Srinagar and patrolled in force to prevent a march towards the Indian army headquarters in Badami Bagh area. Authorities had also shut down mobile, internet and train services.

Indian State fascism continues.

Indian State fascism continues.

President's rule is a constitutional provision where an unstable government or coalition makes way for the President to rule until elections are held next - typically within 6 to 18 months.

In the recent past (2010s), we have had instances of this happening in Uttarakhand, Arunachal Pradesh and even Maharashtra and Delhi, but with zero whining. Life continued as normal, and elections were subsequently held shortly afterward.

But hey it's Kashmir so it's mandatory for you to raise a ruckus and call it 'Fascism' even though you likely have no idea what the term even means.

Don't create trouble and you'll stay away from trouble yourself.

Will make no difference. The violence will only intensify for sure.
