Shutdown called against Modi's Kashmir visit

Protesting against PM Narendra Modi’s Kashmir visit on Diwali, Kashmiri separatist groups have called for a complete shutdown on Thursday. "Diwali in the Muslim-majority state of Jammu and Kashmir is nothing but cultural aggression on the part of Modi. His stay in Kashmir on Diwali is nothing but an election stunt,” Hurriyat Conference leader Syed Ali Shah Geelani said.
