Left calls for all-India demonstration in solidarity with Kashmir
Activists from Pakistan's civil society demonstrate to protest India's policy on Kashmir, in Lahore, today. The woman's sign reads: "There comes a time when silence is a betrayal."

A NATIONAL demonstration will take place tomorrow as the Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) warned that the revoking of Kashmir’s special status represented the “biggest attack on national unity” in India.

Tens of thousands of Indian troops remained on the streets of Kashmir today as the state remained in lockdown after its special status was revoked on Sunday.

The CPI-M warned against the “authoritarian measures” being taken by the reactionary BJP government, with the arrest of political leaders and a curfew imposed in Kashmir ahead of the controversial decision to rescind Article 370.
