India Objects to New York Times' 'Pakistani Kashmir' Headline on PoK Unrest
India has strongly objected to The New York Times' use of the term "Pakistani Kashmir" in a headline about unrest and local elections in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), calling it "misleading and incorrect." The Indian Embassy in the US reaffirmed that Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh are integral parts of India and accused Pakistan of illegally occupying parts of these territories and using violence against residents. The NYT report cited clashes in Mirpur, resulting in casualties and calls for independent investigations, while the Joint Awami Action Committee protested alleged police excesses. India described the elections as a "cosmetic" attempt by Pakistan to legitimize its control over the region.
