At the hearing on Human Rights in South Asia, she had described the draconian Indian military curfew in occupied Kashmir as a necessary measure to avoid civilian casualties in the restive state.
Singh, who is affiliated with top Indian newspaper Times of India, had defended the revocation of Article 370 of the Indian Constitution by the Indian government on August 5, that scrapped the autonomy of occupied Kashmir.

US Congresswoman swiftly dismissed the testimony of Singh, accusing the Indian journalist of using her platform as a journalist to whitewash Indian crimes in occupied Kashmir.
"Ms Singh, a reporter's job is to find the objective truth about what is happening and report it to the public. I am aware of how the narrative shaped by reporting can distort the truth,” Omar said.

So, I watched the video. Ilhan Omar actually did Aarti Tikoo Singh a favour by reminding her of the basics of journalism. She told her upfront that a journalist isn’t a mouthpiece of the government (in response to Tikoo’s M0di-fied account of Kashmir lockdown). I love Ilhan!

“You also make the incredible dubious claim that the Indian government's crackdown in Kashmir is good for human rights. If it was good for human rights, Ms Singh, it wouldn't be happening in secret," Omar thundered.

"You make, what I might call, a feminist case for the occupation of Kashmir and communication shutdowns, saying it will be better for women," Omar noted.
Omar’s support of Kashmiris affected by Indian PM Modi’s decisions made her a target in social media. She was falsely accused of having “married her brother” for example.
