Washington: Triggering a fresh controversy, the US State Department has now posted a new map of India which reflects the Line of Control in J&K with dotted lines, thereby projecting it as a disputed territory.

There was no immediate response from the Indian Embassy in Washington if it was satisfied with the latest India map posted by the State Department on its website.

Following strong protest from the Ministry of External Affairs, the State Department in November had removed from its website a map of India which showed a portion of Jammu and Kashmir as part of Pakistan.

A similar map from its travel website was also removed by the State Department.

State Department spokesperson Victoria Nuland had told reporters at that time that such an error was unintentional.

She said that the map had "some inaccuracies which were associated with the boundaries of some geographic features.

NOW WHEN USA IS HAVING STRAINED RELATIONS WITH PAKISTAN, IT WILL NOW TRY TO PLEASE PAKISTAN BY ANY SUCH LIKE ACTS. IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF INDIA AND PAKISTAN TO AVOID THESE ALTERNATIVE PUNCHES BY PERSUING GOOD NEIGHBOURLY RELATIONS.

This is incomprehensible situation. This is typical situation of the World we are living in. Nations with their excessive hunger and excessive self interest will desperately do anything or even be willing to sleep with the devil against their own principles which they propagate to the whole world. A sad affair indeed without any doubt in my mind. If we believe in humanity in real sense, in my humble opinion, we must be an example of cohesion and trustworthy, not an example of division and distrust to serving our excessive self intrest. Thanks. Respectfully, submitted. Onkar

It infact is disputed territory, why there is so much hue and cry? Just lambasting everybody who shows it disputed won`t have any affect.
