Pakistan's map sparks off controversy

On August 4, Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan unveiled his country's new political map ahe of first anniversary of Jammu and Kashmir's special status revocation. In a marked departure from its claim that Jammu and Kashmir is "disputed territory", this entire Union Territory along with Union Territory of Lakh has been incorporated in map. Moreover, Pakistan claimed sovereignty over Siachen by extending Line of Control to Karakoram Pass.

neighbouring country also specified that its international border lies along eastern bank of Sir Creek, which was previously shown as western bank. However, part of Kashmir and Lakh border with China was t marked and described as 'Frontier Undecided'. In ar incredulous development, Pakistan incorporated parts of Gujarat such as Junagh and Manavdar in its political map.

Reacting to Pakistan's misventure, MEA termed it as an exercise in "political absurdity". It stated that Pakistan's ridiculous assertions h legal validity. According to MEA, this was proof of Pakistan's obsession with territorial aggrandizement.
