Indian PM defends 'historic' action in Kashmir
Instead, he claims the status only held Kashmiris back by depriving them of rights applicable to the rest of India - such as the minimum wage.Just hours after Indian troops rounded up hundreds of Kashmiris in mass arrests, the prime minister appeared on national television insisting his current military stronghold of the region would only be temporary.
