Firstpost Editor's Picks: Opposition delegation's Kashmir visit; PV Sindhu's win at BWF World Championships; today's must-read stories

**Opposition delegation sent back from Kashmir: There will be time for Rahul Gandhi's petty politics, but it isn’t now** The severe restrictions on the free movement of people in Jammu and Kashmir have been gradually relaxed.
