Pakistan unveiled a new political map that depicts the Jammu and Kashmir region and parts of Gujarat as part of Pakistan's territory. India strongly rejected the map as legally invalid and absurd. It said the map was another attempt by Pakistan to make untenable territorial claims and promote cross-border terrorism. Pakistan's Prime Minister Imran Khan plans to present the controversial map to the United Nations and described the move as a historic day, but India maintains the map has no validity or international credibility.

1. Pak unveils new map including J&K, India calls it ridiculous and illegal
India on Tuesday strongly protested Imran Khan releasing a new map which includes Union
Territory of Jammu & Kashmir as part of Pakistan.
"This is an exercise in political absurdity, laying untenable claims to territories in Indian state of
Gujarat and Jammu and Kashmir and of Ladakh. These ridiculous assertions have neither legal
validity nor international credibility," India noted.
The Indian side also added that the new exercise is line with "Pakistan's obsession of territorial
aggrandaisement supported by cross-border terrorism."
On the eve of the first anniversary of the revocation of the contentious Article 370 and Article
35A, Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan unveiled a new political map which includes the
Jammu and Kashmir as part of Pakistan. Khan has decided to present the new political map at the
United Nations as well.
"This is the most historic day in Pakistan's history," he said while addressing a news conference
after chairing the meeting of federal cabinet, which approved the new map on Tuesday.
Khan said that Pakistan has launched a political map which shows the whole Kashmir region,
including "Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir" as part of his country's territory.
He also said the new map is backed by all political parties of the country. "This map also
opposes the Indian government's illegal act of August 5 last year," the prime minister said.
"The settlement of Kashmir dispute only lies in the UN Security Council resolutions," he added.
"Pakistan will continue to make efforts for the people of Kashmir," said Khan adding that the
dispute can only be resolved through political means not military.
