Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan addressed the United Nations General Assembly, again raising the issue of Kashmir. He stated that disputes in South Asia, including Kashmir, should be resolved through dialogue and within the framework of the UN Charter and relevant resolutions. Erdogan made these remarks during the 81st session of the assembly in New York. Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif was present during Erdogan's address. ## Divergent views on Kashmir India's position on Kashmir remains that any outstanding issues with Pakistan should be resolved bilaterally, without outside mediation. The Ministry of External Affairs has consistently rejected references to Jammu and Kashmir made by other countries, asserting that the region is an integral part of India. India has previously lodged strong protests with Turkish envoys over similar remarks. ## What the coverage left out None of the left-rated reports covered this story. The digests from The CSR Journal and Aaj Tak did not mention India's consistent stance that issues with Pakistan should be resolved bilaterally without outside mediation. ## Who covered it Shares of the 7 covering outlets with a published leaning rating: - Left: 0% (0) - Centre: 29% (2) - Right: 71% (5) 1 of 8 covering outlets carried no usable leaning rating and were excluded from those percentages.

Both reports quoted Erdogan's statement that disputes in South Asia, including Kashmir, should be addressed through dialogue within the UN Charter framework and relevant resolutions. Live Mint noted that Erdogan's intervention continues Ankara's repeated references to Kashmir at the UN and detailed previous contentious remarks made in 2019. Hindustan Times also referenced previous UNGA addresses by Erdogan on Kashmir and quoted India's stance on bilateral resolution and rejection of third-party mediation. ### Right - The right-rated reports from ABP News, Tribune India, Times of India, and India Today focused on Turkish President Erdogan's call for dialogue on the Kashmir issue at the UNGA. ABP News and Times of India directly quoted Erdogan's statement regarding dialogue. Tribune India's headline framed Erdogan's remarks as raising the 'Kashmir bogey' and noted it occurred days after a 'Mecca pact with Pakistan'. India Today's digest mentioned Erdogan's recurring comments on Kashmir at the UNGA and that his remarks have varied in tone. **Provisional coverage gap:** left.
