NYC Mayor Eric Adams Apologizes for Mistaking India for Pakistan at Independence Day Event

Adams repeatedly confused the two countries during a speech at Queens' India Day Parade, drawing corrections from the crowd.

Adams mixed up India and Pakistan three times while addressing the Indian-American community.
The mayor quickly returned to the stage to apologize for the error.
The event celebrated India's 78th year of independence from British rule.
Adams had participated in Pakistan's Independence Day celebrations earlier in the week.
A city spokesperson confirmed Adams' commitment to celebrating India's independence.
