Indian Embassy in US Corrects NYT: 'No Pakistani Kashmir, Only Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir'

The Indian Embassy in the US stated there is no Pakistani Kashmir, correcting a New York Times headline to Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. The embassy affirmed Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh as integral parts of India, citing Pakistan's illegal occupation and oppression. Recent clashes in occupied Kashmir have caused numerous casualties, with at least 30 deaths since early June. Protests in PoK, led by the Joint Awami Action Committee, allege electoral manipulation. India attributes the unrest to Pakistan's economic exploitation and denial of rights.

The embassy's statement came in response to an NYT report on violent clashes in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, where protests over 12 contentious legislative seats have led to fatalities among protesters, law enforcement, and bystanders. India views the protests as a consequence of Pakistan's policies.
