India tightens screws on Malaysia after PM Mahatir's Kashmir stand

Miffed over Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad's criticism of India's domestic issues like CAA, the Modi government has set into motion an exercise which may bring more curbs on exports from the southeast nation. The cabinet secretariat has already written to the Ministry of Commerce seeking "trade remedial action against restrictive trade practices of Malaysia".

Mahathir Mohamad, who is known to be inclined towards Pakistan, has in the past also raised the issue of Kashmir and expressed concerns regarding the situation in the Valley.
