In Indian-held Kashmir (IHK), military lockdown and internet ban imposed by India in the Kashmir valley and parts of Jammu region continued on the 112th day of siege. Business and other activities are suspended with shops and business establishments closed in main business hubs. Police raided MLAs’ hostel turned Sub-Jail at Maulana Azad Road in Srinagar where 33 political detainees are lodged and claimed to have recovered 11 cell phones from them. Meanwhile, British Labour party is promising a more interventionist policy on Kashmir in its general election manifesto while considerably escalating its anti-India stance. According to experts, relations between UK and India could deteriorate if Jeremy Corbyn replaces Boris Johnson as the PM of the UK as a result of upcoming elections.
