#KashmirShutdown: A three Judge Bench headed by Justice NV Ramana with Justices R Subhash Reddy and BR Gavai assembles. 
Senior Counsel @KapilSibal resumes making his submissions on behalf of Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad
Sibal: Cross border terrorism is not something new and has not started on August 4. They were concerned about the ramifications of the restructuring of #Article370 which is why the step was taken
Sibal: Large number of people of Kashmir are peace loving and the fundamental rights of these people need to be protected
Sibal: They should have taken preventive measures to ensure that children could go to school etc and a Regime should have been in place to protect the rights of people while ensuring that the troublemakers are dealt with accordingly
Sibal: Internet will not create any problem. It's communication between two people. How will that impact law and order in J&K? How will children going to schools impact J&K?
Sibal: Why was it necessary to ban landlines? There's no explanation for any of this.
Sibal: They cannot claim privilege on 144 orders.
All this was done surreptitiously and suddenly it was fait accompli
