Cosmetic electoral exercise by Pakistan to camouflage illegal occupation: India on PoK polls
India condemned the ongoing elections in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) as a superficial effort by Islamabad to disguise its illegal occupation and human rights violations. Randhir Jaiswal, spokesperson for the Ministry of External Affairs, emphasized that Jammu and Kashmir, including areas under Pakistan's control, are integral parts of India. He also noted that mass protests in PoK reflect the region's discontent with the situation.
