India hosts G20 tourism meet in disputed Kashmir under heavy security
The G20 tourism meeting in disputed Kashmir faced condemnation from China and Pakistan. Security was tightened, roads were improved, and India portrayed “normalcy and peace returning” to the region.
China, along with Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Indonesia, chose not to attend, citing opposition to holding meetings in disputed territories.
Pakistan criticized India’s arrogance, while India accused Pakistan of supporting militants. The UN Special Rapporteur expressed concern about civil liberties, but India rejected the remarks.
Security measures were heightened, leading to detentions and warnings against protests or trouble.
