Map shows India sans PoK
The party’s Maharashtra unit in its fortnightly journal has published India’s map sans those parts of Jammu and Kashmir illegally occupied by Pakistan.
Forget Akhand Bharat (integrated India). The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has divided the existing India itself. The party’s Maharashtra unit in its fortnightly journal has published India’s map sans those parts of Jammu and Kashmir illegally occupied by Pakistan.
The journal Manogat has a cover story on the party’s ideology titled ‘Sanskritik Rashtrawad (cultural nationalism)’. It has published the distorted map below the index on page two. Interestingly, the party had pulled up the Pune municipal corporation for making the same mistake just two days ago.
Editor Ganesh Hake admitted to the mistake. “We had outsourced the work to draw the map of India. The artist made the mistake. We will rectify it in the next issue,” he said.
The BJP’s sympathisers as well as opponents came down hard on the party for the goof-up. “Dudh mango kheer denge, Kashmir mango chir denge (If you ask for milk we will you kheer, but if you ask for Kashmir we will kill you) was the slogan made popular by the BJP. My heart is broken after hearing about the goof-up,” said a senior functionary of the BJP’s parent organisation Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS).
The Congress spokesperson Hussain Dalwai said, “It is sad that the party, which always talks about nationalism, has made such a blunder.”
