Thread: Very combative @HouseForeign subcommittee hearing on on Kashmir. Q by @BradSherman: Have we tried to send US diplomats?
Alice Wells: We have attempted to send a delegation but not recd permission. Indians are taking a conservative approach to opening up Kashmir.
@SpanbergerVA07: Have spoken to the Indian govt& to my constituents from Kashmir. There are two conflicting accounts. How are we getting the truth?
Wells: There is very real hardship& inconvenience. when you don't have open media and communication, makes it hard for even the govt
@SpanbergerVA07: Indian government said the communication shutdown is security based. Do we have credible examples?
Wells: Cannot comment.
Spanberger: I will move for a classified hearing on this. Sherman agrees with her.

#Kashmir thread: It’s been 20 days since India unilaterally revoked #Article370, flew in thousands of troops, imposed an unprecedented communications blackout & curfew-like conditions. Starting a thread on all of the @washingtonpost coverage of the issue here -
On Aug 5, India revokes special status of Kashmir. The decision and its stealthy implementation are likely to further damage New Delhi’s relationship with its most restive state and ignite unrest there. 

washingtonpost.com/world/india-re…
While the news made headlines globally, a day later, there had been almost no word from inside Kashmir, a situation many described as a “siege.”

Jose Mourinho to RCB 2020
(What could've been)
The man, the myth, the legend
The one who has worked at prestigious clubs around the world, winning everything, now has found interest in another sport.
After being out for last 10 months, he's took interest in Cricket.
And his next project? Royal Challengers Bangalore .
Chinnaswamy applauds and welcomes him.
Mourinho in his first presser
"I'm not from the bottle but I think I'm special one.
RCB have never won title in THREE finals...THREE..
That's number of titles I won at Chelsea and trophies at United.
We can do something special here at RCB."

I wasn't inclined to tweet about #Kashmir, but after seeing the amount of disinformation, I am going to.

I'm back in the newsroom today after a week in Srinagar.

Things are NOT normal.

People are seething. Kashmir is likely a tinderbox waiting for a spark.
When I got there on Monday, just hours after Article 370 was abrogated, the city was locked down.

I walked a km to find the nicest auto-wallah in the land.

He didn't have a clue of what had happened, why his city had overnight turned into ghost town -- blanketed with security.
Later that evening, we spoke to @shahfaesal in his living room.

Since satellite TVs were still working, news had trickled in.

“We might see an eruption when the guard is down."

“People are taking it as an act of humiliation.”

Then, the pelting began.
