India protests New York Times use of “Pakistani Kashmir” term
The Indian Embassy in Washington posted on X, stating there is no "Pakistani Kashmir" and that the region should be referred to only as "Pakistan‑occupied Kashmir". The embassy called the New York Times headline "misleading and incorrect" and reaffirmed that the Union Territories of Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh are integral and inseparable parts of India.
The New York Times report that prompted the protest covered recent unrest and local elections in Pakistan‑occupied Kashmir. It reported clashes in Mirpur between security forces and members of the Joint Awami Action Committee, during which at least two people were killed. The Human Rights Commission of Pakistan called for an impartial investigation into the deaths. India also accused Pakistan of illegally occupying parts of Jammu & Kashmir and using violence against people in the occupied territory.
