Event Summary

India has lodged a strong diplomatic protest with Pakistan over its plans to hold general elections for the Gilgit-Baltistan assembly on June 7, 2026. India asserts that Gilgit-Baltistan is an integral and inalienable part of the Union Territories of India — Jammu and Kashmir and India — Ladakh, which were legally acceded to India in 1947, and is currently under Pakistan's illegal and forcible occupation. The India — Ministry of External Affairs emphasized that Pakistan's actions cannot mask underlying issues of grave human rights violations, political repression, economic exploitation, and denial of freedom in the illegally occupied territories. India categorically rejects any attempts by Pakistan to bring material change to these areas and demands that Pakistan vacate the Indian territories it illegally occupies. This protest underscores the continuing dispute between India and Pakistan over the Kashmir region.
