Indian Embassy in US Objects to NYT Headline on Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir Unrest
The Indian Embassy in the US criticized The New York Times for using the term "Pakistani Kashmir" in a headline about unrest and local elections in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), calling it "misleading and incorrect." The embassy 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 resulting in at least 30 deaths amid protests over contested legislative seats in PoK, with claims from the Joint Awami Action Committee about police excesses and election manipulation.
