The BBC has apologized for misrepresenting the map of India

-Jammu Kashmir and Ladakh were shown separately

- Labor MP Virendra Sharma wrote a letter protesting

London / New Delhi Dated 21st January 2021 Thursday

The BBC has apologized to India for misrepresenting Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh in India's map.

Virender Sharma, a Labor MP of British Indian descent, wrote a letter to the BBC asking it to correct the mistake on the map. The BBC then apologized for its mistake.

The BBC produced a documentary about Joe Biden, the new president of the United States. It showed Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh as separate from India in the map of India. People's anger erupted on social media after seeing this map. The map was also opposed by British MPs of Indian descent. Virender Sharma, president of the Indo-British All Party Parliamentary Group, took the mistake seriously and wrote a letter to the BBC in strong language. "Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh are an integral part of India," Sharma wrote. By making it look different, you are insulting millions of Indians living in Britain. We will have to take legal action to remove this map immediately. There was a lot of support for Sharma's letter.

The BBC immediately admitted its mistake and removed a faulty map of India from the video.

A few days ago, an erroneous map of India was also displayed on the website of the World Health Organization (WHO). India protested and wrote a stern letter to Wu's president. This map was then removed by Wu. Who then released a revised map.

Pakistan and China do the same thing over and over again. Both these neighboring countries claim areas like Jammu and Kashmir and Arunachal Pradesh as their own.
