Description
Muslims in Indian-administered Kashmir attended street rallies after Friday prayers, sparked by remarks about the Prophet Mohammed by an Indian ruling party official that embroiled the country in a diplomatic storm. Anger has engulfed the Islamic world since last week, when a spokeswoman for Prime Minister Narendra Modi's ruling party commented on the relationship between the prophet and his youngest wife on a TV debate show. Authorities in the area cut the restive territory's internet connections, restricted prayer congregations at mosques and imposed a curfew. A spontaneous shutdown saw businesses close across Srinagar, the region's major city, with protesters calling for retribution against "disrespect" to the Prophet. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
