Misrepresentation of India's map

Incidentally, this is not first time when Indian map has been distorted. A few weeks ago, BBC World Service stirred controversy when a graphic on its brocast 'US Election 2020: What do countries around world want from Joe Biden' depicted India without Jammu and Kashmir. This elicited a strong response from Labour Party MP Virendra Sharma who termed action as "deeply insulting" in a letter dressed to BBC Director-General Tim Davie. Asserting that J&K is an integral part of India, he called upon BBC to not only withdraw graphic but also demanded action to ensure that this doesn't repeat again. Subsequently, BBC apologised and updated map of India reflecting boundaries of J&K. 

Similarly, Twitter h to apologise for showing a part of J&K as Chinese territory. This controversy came to fore on October 18, 2020, when national security analyst Nitin Gokhale noticed that his location (near Leh airport) was displaying 'Jammu and Kashmir, People's Republic of China' on Twitter. Moreover, Parliamentary Joint Committee on Personal Data Protection Bill, 2019 expressed strong displeasure over geotagging issue and asked Twitter to submit a written apology and an affidavit. Besides this,  Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology wrote to Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey reminding him that Leh is hequarter of Lakh and that both Lakh and J&K are 'integral and inalienable parts of India, governed by Constitution of India'.
