Israel Shares Map Showing J&K in Pakistan, Apologises Later
In a shocking gaffe, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) shared a map on social media showing the Indian union territory of Jammu and Kashmir as a part of Pakistan. The map was shared on Twitter by the IDF’s official handle, which has over 4 million followers. The map showed Pakistan’s Kashmir region, including territories such as Azad Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan, as well as the Indian union territory of Jammu and Kashmir, as part of Pakistan.
The mistake was quickly pointed out by Congress leader Pawan Khera, who took to Twitter to express his outrage. “Another day, another feather in Vishwaguru’s cap,” Khera said, referring to Prime Minister Narendra Modi. “His ‘friend’ shows J&K as a part of Pakistan.” Khera’s tweet was shared widely and quickly went viral, with many users criticizing the IDF for its mistake.
The IDF later issued an apology for the mistake, saying that the map was an illustration and did not depict precise borders. “The map was intended to illustrate the geographical area of the region and not to be taken as a representation of precise borders,” the IDF said in a statement.
This is not the first time that the IDF has made a mistake on social media. In the past, the IDF has been known to share maps and graphics that have been criticized for being inaccurate or misleading. However, this latest mistake is particularly significant given the sensitive nature of the issue of Kashmir.
The dispute over Kashmir has been a longstanding one between India and Pakistan, with both countries claiming sovereignty over the region. The region has been the site of several wars and skirmishes between the two countries, and tensions between them remain high.
India has long maintained that the Indian union territory of Jammu and Kashmir is an integral part of the country, while Pakistan claims that the region is a disputed territory that should be part of Pakistan. The Kashmir region has been a flashpoint between the two countries, with both sides accusing each other of human rights abuses and violating the ceasefire agreement.
The latest mistake by the IDF is likely to be seen as a significant gaffe by many, particularly in India where the issue of Kashmir is highly sensitive. The mistake is likely to be seen as a sign of ignorance or lack of knowledge about the region, and may be used by critics of the Indian government to question the country’s claim over the region.
In conclusion, the recent mistake by the IDF is a significant gaffe that is likely to be seen as a sign of ignorance or lack of knowledge about the region of Kashmir. The mistake is likely to be used by critics of the Indian government to question the country’s claim over the region, and may damage the already strained relations between India and Pakistan.
