Cong map gaffe stirs massive political row

NEW DELHI:

The BJP said that the "incorrect depiction" of the Indian map by Congress was a way to appease its "vote bank" and sought registration of a police case against the organisers.

"Congress in Karnataka has shown utter disrespect for India's sovereignty by displaying a distorted map at their Belagavi event, portraying Kashmir as part of Pakistan. All this just to appease their vote bank. This is shameful!" BJP said on X.

The Congress planned a two-day working committee meeting in Belagavi on Thursday and Friday, to mark the centenary of the 1924 session of the party. As part of its celebrations, the party has put up posters featuring a map of the country alongside images of Mahatma Gandhi, and Congress leaders Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi.

However, Congress dismissed the allegations and said that it might be a mistake on part of some leaders and it is removing "everything".
