India’s top court orders Modi govt to review restrictions in occupied Jammu and Kashmir

NEW DELHI: (HRNW) While hearing a bunch of petitions challenging restrictions imposed in occupied Jammu and Kashmir, India’s Supreme Court on Friday directed the Narendra Modi government to review within a week all orders imposing curbs in the disputed territory, Indian media reported.

“Freedom of expression and carrying on trade through internet is protected under Article 19(1) of the constitution and can be restricted only under the reasons given in Article 19(2) of the Constitution,” the SC ruled, ordering that suspending internet in the region should be reviewed forthwith.
