Look at the absurdity of India's Home Minister Amit Shah's claim that "total normalcy" prevails in Occupied Kashmir even as thousands of Kashmiris, including top politicians, remain in custody since the region, cut off from the internet, was stripped of its autonomy on August 5, 2019.

"Petrol, diesel, kerosene, LPG (liquid petroleum gas) and rice are adequately available. The situation there was always normal. There were many notions spread all over the world. There is total normalcy prevailing," the Union Minister reportedly told the upper house of India's parliament on Wednesday. How ironic it is that Amit Shah, who is known as prime minister Narendra Modi's right-hand man, is employing crude tactics to hoodwink the entire world about the situation in Occupied Kashmir.

The global community in particular is required to challenge his assertion about the grimness of the situation in the Valley as thousands of people are known to remain in custody three-and-a-half months later, among them dozens of local politicians including three former chief ministers of Occupied Jammu & Kashmir.
