New Delhi: On Monday, General Secretary Sitaram Yechury alleged that the people of Kashmir have been kept "imprisoned" in their own homes and warned the government that the impact of changing Jammu and Kashmir's status would be felt in other states with special status. Yechury while greeting people on the occasion of Eid al-Adha stated that he still didn't know the condition of his party colleagues in Kashmir. He along with CPI general secretary on Friday had been denied entry into Srinagar.

Eid is an occasion of joy and celebration, and our thoughts are with the people of Kashmir who have been kept imprisoned in their own homes. We still don't know how or where our Comrades in Kashmir are. pic.twitter.com/Ac9BwTg0EQ

"Eid is an occasion of joy and celebration, and our thoughts are with the people of Kashmir who have been kept imprisoned in their own homes. We still don't know how or where our Comrades in Kashmir are," he took to social media and tweeted. "We are a country of diverse languages, religions, cultures & ideas; this is our strength. The impact of undemocratically and forcibly altering Jammu and Kashmir's status will be felt in other states with special status. Let's not forget that most are on India's borders," Yechury said.
