BJP accuses Congress of displaying distorted map of India, questions allegiance to anti-India forces ahead of CWC meeting.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) alleged on Thursday (December 26, 2024) that the Congress, ahead of the Congress Working Committee (CWC) meeting in Karnataka's Belagavi, put up welcome banners with a distorted map of India and asked the party whether it is following a "signal" from anti-India forces such as U.S.-based billionaire investor George Soros.
The BJP’s charge came after its Karnataka unit posted on X pictures of a banner and a welcome flex allegedly put up by the Congress in Karnataka ahead of its Working Committee meeting.
Karnataka CM unveils statue of Mahatma Gandhi in Belagavi
"@INCKarnataka has shown utter disrespect for India's sovereignty by displaying a distorted map at their Belagavi event, portraying Kashmir as part of Pakistan. All this just to appease their vote bank. This is shameful!" the Karnataka BJP posted on X, along with pictures. There was no immediate reaction from the Congress on the BJP's charge.
"Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) and Aksai Chin appear to be missing from the map used by the Congress. The important thing is that it [the map] has been used with Mahatma Gandhi's picture," BJP national spokesperson Sudhanshu Trivedi told a press conference at the party headquarters in New Delhi.
He alleged that this is not the first time that the Congress has used a distorted map of India. It has done so several times in the past, he charged. "Why is India's map being shown after removing different parts of the country? Is it just a coincidence or part of a systematic anti-India experiment? At whose behest is this happening?" Mr. Trivedi asked.
He said, "Is there a signal coming from some Soros secret service or from other anti-India forces based abroad with whom you always get along well?" The BJP leader alleged that the Congress's "nexus" with such forces that dream of disintegrating India has become "absolutely clear", with the party using a "distorted" map of the country.
