21 Sept 06:48 Key points summarised by AI

India's Hindu nationalist government revoked Kashmir's seven-decade-long autonomous status, bringing the Muslim-majority state under direct federal control, a move hailed as 'historic' by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Pakistan vehemently condemned India's decision, with Prime Minister Imran Khan vowing to challenge it at the UN Security Council and accusing India of violating international law.
China criticized India for unilaterally changing its domestic law and undermining China's territorial sovereignty by carving out the Buddhist-dominated Ladakh region as a separate administrative territory.
The controversial action triggered a massive security lockdown in Indian-administered Kashmir, cutting off communications and leading to reports of sporadic protests and the detention of political leaders.
