‘There Is No Pakistani Kashmir’: India Hits Back at The New York Times over ‘Incorrect’ PoK Terminology
The embassy said The New York Times used misleading wording as clashes in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir left at least 30 people dead, officials and estimates said.
On Wednesday, the Indian Embassy in the United States objected to a New York Times headline, calling the term "Pakistani Kashmir" "misleading and incorrect" in a report on violent clashes in the region.
The newspaper's report covered violent clashes in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, where the Joint Awami Action Committee has led protests since last month over 12 contentious legislative assembly seats.
Pakistani security forces used lethal force during a long march, resulting in at least 30 deaths and over 33 injuries according to government sources on Wednesday.
New Delhi reaffirmed that the Union Territories of Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh "always remain an integral and inalienable part of India," stating Pakistan illegally occupies the territory.
Elections in PoK represent an attempt by Islamabad to camouflage its illegal occupation and hide "grave" human rights violations, New Delhi said on Tuesday.
