NEW DELHI: The government on Monday lodged a strong protest with the US asking it to take off the India map from its state department's official website as it carried "gross inaccuracies''.
The government action came in response to a TOI report on Monday highlighting that the state department website depicted PoK as part of Pakistan, completely ignoring India's claim. "As far as the PoK issue is concerned, the maps will have to be corrected," foreign secretary Ranjan Mathai said.
The foreign ministry said that New Delhi has consistently rejected incorrect depiction of India's borders by the US government and that it has used every opportunity to convey to the US its concern in this regard. "This position was reiterated by a senior MEA official to the US deputy chief of mission today, who assured us that the US embassy would convey our concerns to the US state department,'' Mathai said.
The ministry reaffirmed that the "entire state of J&K is an integral part of India and has conveyed to the international community that India's maps should depict its boundaries correctly''.
