people are meeting the arrivals off the planes giving them leaflets and all kinds of different languages talking about free hong kong talking about police terrorism here at cetera largely there has been a good response it has to be said good natured response from new arrivals somebody will demand especially perhaps among mainland mainland chinese visitors as people arrive here on the planes or they are being given all of these leaflets you have other people walking around with their laptops open explaining in different languages on power point presentations what this is all about excuse me welcome to hong kong and over here we have one of these ubiquitous pop up lenin walls as they are known that we've seen these all around hong kong people stop putting post it notes with all sorts of political messages on them here at the airports because they don't want to overstay their welcome they have

machines no one is listening to our plight no one cares about us liberals. in new delhi this problem filmmaker is worried about his elderly parents and she. he questions the timing of the government's decision to vote the states autonomy and divided into 2 federally administered territories the one thing about the timing of this decision is very seems awfully time. and then one is forced to wonder as to why this would have happened and crudely yes the story has pushed the impending economic crisis off the front pages for this week and who knows you know until the next round of elections legal challenges are already being planned * the 1st public interested again against the government's decision has been filed and they are more expected some constitutional

experts say there are some legal loopholes that the judges may consider the process is a certain amount of scut constitutional skullduggery which i expect. in the supreme court but in the other constitution of course you look at very closely constitutions do not work on the limb off a few people alone no matter how high in the constitutional structure india's government led by the party to the party of the hindu nationalists see the special status was discriminatory and with the change of status to be open divestment jokes for now the shops it's true not good are closed and no one knows for how long practical to. delhi.

let's bring in our guest sriram chaldea is professor and dean at the school of international affairs and joins us from new delhi victoria schofield is an independent south asia analyst and she joins us from london tarik or is out is a pakistan security analyst and he joins us from islamabad welcome to all of our guests tariq let me start with you these moves that pakistan is making suspending train service to india threatening to close airspace to india downgrading diplomatic ties with india what kind of effect will it have in the long run. well the initial let me start with the initial effect of that the purpose of severing you know or downgrading the diplomatic ties is to send a message to the war that the tensions between india and pakistan will be because of the actions taken by moody who simply stripped the people of a speed of the right to govern themselves and all of the liberties that is now that

has now raised the point that if you don't take an action now the situation. will move towards a direct military confrontation so the downgrading of diplomatic ties actually sends a clear message of what i just mentioned it tells the art of the war that tensions are very high that the normal ties have become strained that the diplomatic ties are no longer you know why a ball cannot be maintained as such and the 2 nations are headed in the direction of a military conflict that's the purpose of sending this and various of the actions that progress on is taken and the messages i believe very clear that they have sent to the whole world. you heard just now what tariq peers out of said do you believe as he stated that india and pakistan are headed down a path of confrontation. a lot depends on how pakistan behaves itself

if it overreacts we are being very cool in india in fact our prime minister said we have to adopt a statesman like position it's an internal matter and we are not interested in escalating this conflict and all of this is an administrative reorganization of kashmir that was our visit part of india you know 7 decades ago so for pakistan to meddle and interfere and to try and internationalize this that is their strategy because they cannot match india conventionally so they want to bring in 3rd parties 4th parties crying about you know a leg of human rights violations and such things but the reality is that these measures are not like pinpricks and frankly cancellation of trade with india you know the volume is like hardly $2000000000.00 most of our period is not with pakistan at all and it's not going to affect us and not is it going to compel us to change but i suspect the real problem is not what they're publicly announcing the real problem is they're going to unleash the same or jihad these poison that has to

be stabilised specially for many decades they have terrorist mastermind so not been brought to book imran khan the prime minister of pakistan publicly admitted the news do resent the us troops that we have 30240000 armed actors who need to be reined in that's his estimate only for government be saying that that's conservative so we're talking about you know a large scale you have this menace that is looming across the border and india is preparing for it you know also trade barriers and cutting off you know cultural links is a bad idea we don't want to take this forward but if there decide to go more aggressive and use force i think we're prepared with going to force you know we have the deterrent measures at the border and that's why we have deployed forces in advance of this move to prevent any kind of mischief or adventurism by pakistan victoria schofield the indian lawyers are split about the constitutionality of revoking article $370.00 many have said the government's plan is likely to face

court challenges what do you think is this something that's going to be heard by the supreme court in india could it possibly be reversed in the courts. well i think it's early days yet to say exactly what can what can happen in the courts i think undoubtedly there is a section of the population in india who are surprised at the way prime minister modi has really unilaterally altered the constitution as we know the move to abrogate article 370 has been part of the b j mean b j p manifesto for a long time but the idea always was that there should be some consultation with the legislative assembly well the fact that the state of general interest me has been under presidents rule for the past year and that has just been renewed really took away the opportunity for this can se asian and so i think it's it's a very drastic move without consulting the people there is bound to be some

reaction within the valley the curfew has not yet been lifted but when you've already got a section of the population alienated to put them in lockdown to really not not have any consultation a tool to bring in extra troops. is bound to have a reaction within the valley let alone what what pakistan's position is true there is many critics of prime minister narendra modi who say that revoking the special status in the in the minister of kashmir is not just an attack on india's secular identity but it's also part of a broader agenda of the prime minister to make india more of a hindu nation and also to make it more authoritarian what do you say to that criticism. not at all you know it's a very democratic position it was endorsed by massive majority of both houses of india's elected representatives of parliament and through executive order by the

president of the republic and so. this kind of change is provided for within the constitution itself so enormous is it undemocratic and secondly the critics of more the you know a lot of them are in a minority i mean they had basically people who believe in the idea of ghettoization of question you know where 97 percent of the people of kashmir valley are muslims and it's been deliberately kept saw by preventing people from the rest of india from visiting and acquiring property and reciting that through the so-called special status so it was maintained as a ghetto which in turn festered the alienation that we are talking about the alienation is not inbuilt are natural it's instigated by pakistan one and 2 we were hacking at our own feet by having article $370.00 so more there is no removed you know it's a proactive step to fully integrate and simulate it into the national mainstream and that will eventually happen i don't believe these theories that you know that.
