title: "Kashmir assembly passes non-binding resolution for statehood restoration"
description: "Most outlets reported that the Kashmir assembly passed a non-binding resolution supporting the restoration of federal statehood, noting the criticism from politicians aligned with India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who called it “anti-national.” The framing of the region varied slightly, with some referring to it as “Indian-occupied” or “India-held,” while others used “Indian-administered.” All excerpts described the resolution as non-binding and highlighted the political backlash, though the emphasis on the regional context and terminology differed."
