The matter was raised by the Indian side, including the external affairs ministry, as #Pakistani officials had used similar maps at an earlier SCO meeting, people familiar with the matter said.

Pakistan’s representatives were also present at the meeting. During the meeting, Pakistan’s map incorrectly depicted Jammu and Kashmir as Pakistani region. India objected to this and asked Pakistan to show correct map or exit the meeting. Pakistani representatives chose to exit.

Editorial viewpoint

Pakistan dares to perform an anti-India activity while attending a meeting in India. This calls for the cancellation of its membership from this organisation. Preventing it from attending a specific event is not enough !
