The US House Committee of Foreign Affairs slammed the New York Times after they wrote 'militant' attack on the headline of a report on the Pahalgam terror attack in India where at least 26 people, mostly tourists, were killed.
US President Donald Trump had condemned the terror attack saying, "Deeply disturbing news out of Kashmir. The United States stands strong with India against Terrorism."
It is being described as the deadliest attack in the Valley since the Pulwama attack in 2019.
What Did NYT Article Say And How Has US Govt Reacted?
The New York Times report titled “At Least 24 Tourists Gunned Down by Militants in Kashmir” states that Prime Minister Narendra Modi of India “called the shooting, the worst against civilians in the region for years, a ‘terror attack’ and vowed to bring the perpetrators to justice”.
In a post on X, the House Foreign Affairs Committee Majority said, “Hey, @nytimes we fixed it for you. This was a TERRORIST ATTACK plain and simple. Whether it라이브 바카라 India or Israel, when it comes to TERRORISM the NYT is removed from reality.”
In the post, the House Foreign Affairs Committee strikes the word “militants” in the headline and replaces it with the word “terrorists”, writing the word in bold and red.

India-Pakistan Ties
India on Wednesday suspended the Indus Water Treaty of 1960 and announced downgrading diplomatic ties with Pakistan, including expulsion of its military attaches in view of cross-border links to the Pahalgam terror attack.
Meanwhile, Pakistan on Thursday put the Simla Agreement and other bilateral accords with India on hold, suspended all trade, closed its airspace for Indian airlines and said any attempt to divert the water meant for it under the Indus Water Treaty will be considered an Act of War.
Islamabad also closed the Wagah border post, cancelled visas given to Indians under the SAARC Visa Exemption Scheme (SVES) and asked military advisers at the Indian High Commission to leave—mirroring steps taken the previous evening by India over the Pahalgam terror attack.
The Resistance Front (TRF), a proxy of the banned Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba claimed responsibility for the Pahalgam attack.
