SRINAGAR, India/ISLAMABAD (Reuters) - Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's plan to change the status of Kashmir ran into fierce opposition from
China and its ally
Pakistan on Tuesday as the disputed territory lay under a telecoms blackout to forestall
protests for a second day.
In a move to tighten its grip on Jammu and Kashmir, parts of which are claimed by Pakistan and China,
India dropped a constitutional provision that allowed the country's only Muslim-majority state to make its own laws.
The changes imposed by Modi's Hindu nationalist-led government are the most sweeping in the nearly 30 years that India has been battling a revolt in Kashmir.
