Earlier on Saturday, Congress leader Shashi Tharoor shared a poster in which the map of India is moth-eaten. The Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir and Aksai Chin are not seen in it. This is not the official map of India.

The BJP has slammed Tharoor for sharing the controversial map. The ruling party's spokesperson Sambit Patra asked, "Why is it so, Mr. Shashi Tharoor, that the Map of INDIA that your party and workers are advertising, is a distorted one? Is this Congress’ idea of India - Distort, Divide and Destroy? Shouldn’t Mr Tharoor apologize for demeaning India?"

Amit Malviya of the BJP tweeted out, "In the name of anti-CAA protest, Congress MP Shashi Tharoor posts a mutilated map of India... This can’t be an oversight. Earlier Farhan Akhtar (Bollywood actor) did it and now him. Who is he trying to please? His co-conspirators in Pakistan or radical constituents back home?"

Tharoor is yet to apologize at the time of writing this piece.
