  Arindam Bagchi in a press meet as the Spokesperson of MEA

• In April 2022, Ilhan Omar, a US Congresswoman, visited Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), on her four-day trip to Pakistan. PoK is considered a disputable region in Kashmir between India and Pakistan. India called her visit a narrow-minded politics. Before her visit to Pakistan, she had often raised human rights violations in India. In a press meeting at the Ministry of External Affairs, India, while talking about her trip to Pakistan and visiting PoK, Arindam Bagchi criticised her and said,
  

  We have noted that she has visited a part of the Indian union territory of Jammu & Kashmir that is currently illegally occupied by Pakistan. If such a politician wishes to practice her narrow-minded politics at home that may be her business but violating our territorial integrity and sovereignty in its pursuit makes this ours and we think the visit is condemnable.”
