Indian Express refers to Gilgit-Baltistan as ‘Northern Pakistan’ in its article
Op IndiaRecently, 14 schools, mostly for girls were burnt down in Gilgit Baltistan. Indian news agency Indian Express has a ‘special agreement’ with The New York Times, by which it can re-publish some of their articles. If the editorial right indeed lies with Indian Express, an Indian publication, one wonders why Indian Express would choose to refer to Gilgit Baltistan as “Nothern Pakistan”. With Pakistan illegally occupying an inalienable part of India, Indian Express toeing Pakistan’s line by referring to Gilgit-Baltistan as “Nothern Kashmir” is extremely unfortunate, and suspect especially when The New York Time itself had not chosen this headline that Indian Express chose to run with. We had even tweeted to The New York Times to clarify if the Indian Express has editorial freedom to decide the headline of the articles they choose to re-publish owing to the ‘special agreement’.
