Twitter removed the wrong map showing Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh as separate from India

After facing severe backlash, Twitter on Monday got obviate a controversial map of India which showed Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh as a separate country. On late Monday night, the worldwide map which earlier appeared on the career section of Twitter website under the header ‘Tweep Life' was removed completely from the online page.

The furore comes amid a bitter stand-off between the Indian government and Twitter over compliance with new IT rules.

After the distorted map came under public scrutiny and triggered an important censuring from netizens, demands of strict action against the microblogging platform were raised.

This is not the primary time that Twitter has misrepresented India's map. Earlier, it had shown Leh as a part of China.
