Venugopal said that it&#8217;s about the protection of the lives of the entirety of the population of Jammu and Kashmir and not just the COVID-19 patients.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Terrorists are being pushed into the country. Yesterday, there were some tragic events also. These men could easily take videos of the troop movements because they were trusted. The enemy could know the troop movements if they had 4G,&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The attorney general said that the petitions have to be examined against the larger public interest of national security, adding that national security is paramount and those tasked with protecting national security must be the sole judges in the matter.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;The matters of policy decision cannot be interfered with by the court. It must be left to the government,&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Lawyer Huzefa Ahmadi, appearing for one of the petitioners, told the court that the COVID-19 situation in J&amp;K has worsened and added that problems are being faced by doctors who cannot access necessary information about coronavirus treatment due to the internet speed. 75 doctors have also made a representation flagging the same concerns.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Justice Ramana said that the government is saying the people can rely on the landline broadband connection, to which Ahmadi responded by saying<br \/>\nbroadband connections account for less than one percent of the total internet connections in J&amp;K.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;There are around approximately 1 lakh 32 thousand broadband landline connections in J&amp;K, but more than one crore phone\/internet connections. The total number of broadband connections in J&amp;K account for less than 1 percent of the total internet connections,&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Justice BR Gavai said,<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>the numbers are not in dispute but it&#8217;s a legal question of balance and the government is raising security concerns.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Justice Ramana said that the Central government is claiming that there has been a surge in terrorist activities and they have collaborated via 4G. Ahmadi<br \/>\nresponded by saying that the terrorist activities were more in the 1990s when there was no internet at all.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Ahmadi submitted that the Centre is arguing that the national security may be compromised, but they have not been able to show any direct nexus in the case.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Let them open internet speeds for a week and see if there is any nexus with terrorism.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Senior lawyer Salman Khurshid, appearing for another petitioner in the matter, said that private schools are under government directions to provide education<br \/>\nvia video-conferencing.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;We have an obligation under the Right to Education to provide education&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Solicitor General Tushar Mehta said that the Central government had started with a complete lockdown and then brought in relaxations by allowing movement, followed by landline and then 2G internet services.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Notably, internet services were suspended in J&amp;K in August last year after the abrogation of Article 370 and bifurcation of the erstwhile state into two Union<br \/>\nTerritories of Ladakh and Jammu and Kashmir . While the 2G services on postpaid mobile phones and broadband have been restored, 4G services still remain suspended.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>(Source:
