Hello and welcome to another episode of DePress Room, my name is Amal Chowdhury and today let's see what the international media has to say about India.

The Congress, the National Conference and the People's Democratic Party stayed away from the elections in Jammu and Kashmir - a first after abrogation of the state's special status

On Tuesday some protesters shouted slogans against India. From Srinagar, they were marching towards the busy business area of Lal Chowk and that is when the police caught and detained them.

BBC thinks that the local elections going to take place later this month in Jammu and Kashmir are nothing but a farce! And in this report, they are saying that as most of the local leaders are placed under house arrest there will be a vacuum during these elections. Oh My God, like really BBC? Ok, just answer this simple question for me. Why were these leaders placed under house arrest in the first place? The world knows what these separatist leaders have been doing in the valley for ages! It's for the world to see.

Terror outfits have already threatened to boycott polls. Coincidentally the 17th day of Ramzan is on May 23, and even in past militants have chosen the 17th day of Ramzan, which is also the day of the battle of Jang-e-Badr, to attack security installations in the Valley.
