A bipartisan group of four influential US lawmakers on Thursday expressed concern over the human rights situation in Kashmir and urged President Donald Trump to press India to lift the communication blackout and release those who have been detained.
The senators also said that Pakistan should end support to terrorism and refrain from taking any steps that could destabilise Kashmir.
In a letter addressed to Trump, Senators Chris Van Hollen, Todd Young, Ben Cardin and Lindsay Graham said, "With each passing day, the situation for the people of Kashmir becomes increasingly difficult."
