An Indian diplomat lodged a strong objection after an incorrect map of India was displayed during a seminar in Bangladesh’s capital Dhaka. The map displayed at a foreign affairs seminar showed Jammu and Kashmir as part of Pakistan. As soon as the flawed map appeared in a presentation by former Bangladeshi Ambassador Tariq A Karim, Pooja Kumari Jha, Second Secretary at the Indian High Commission in Dhaka immediately raised the issue.&nbsp;“The map of India displayed here is incorrect. Jammu and Kashmir is an integral part of India," Jha stated during the event organised by Bangladesh Institute of International and Strategic Studies.&nbsp;ALSO READ: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/india-news/amarnath-ice-lingam-has-melted-by-over-90-per-cent-just-5-days-into-the-yatra-know-in-detail-1783682691998">Amarnath ice lingam has melted by over 90 per cent just 5 days into the yatra?</a>&nbsp;Karim replied by saying the map was just for representational purpose and "does not project actual boundaries”. However, Jha wasn't happy with the answer and the depiction of Jammu and Kashmir as part of Pakistan.&nbsp;"I understand sir, but Jammu and Kashmir is an integral part of India and it is misrepresented here," Jha reiterated.

India has consistently maintained that Jammu and Kashmir is an integral part of India and any misrepresentation in the maps by any country is unacceptable and has raised such concerns with foreign governments and international forums in the past.&nbsp;The Indian High Commission in Dhaka has not issued a formal statement on the incident yet.&nbsp;

As soon as the flawed map appeared in an event organised by Bangladesh Institute of International and Strategic Studies Pooja Kumari Jha, Second Secretary at the Indian High Commission in Dhaka immediately raised the issue.

India has strongly raised the issue of inaccurate depiction of Indian map showing union territories of J&amp;K &amp; Ladakh separately by the World Health Organisation (WHO).&nbsp;

The matter was raised by Indian envoy to UN in Geneva Indramani Pandey with WHO Director-General Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.

In the letter the top Indian diplomat expressed his "deep displeasure" at the "inaccurate depiction of the boundaries of India in the maps of various web portals of WHO."

He called Tedros for "immediate intervention" and "removal of maps" which have been inaccurately depicting the boundaries of India and replacing them with "accurate maps".

It is the third time India has raised the matter with the WHO in a matter of month. The previous two Indian mission to the UN in Geneva had written to Tedros and now with the envoy himself has raised the issue

The Indian envoy in the letter said: &nbsp;"I draw your attention to our previous messages sent to WHO pointing out similar inaccuracies."

Earlier this month WION had reached out to the WHO on the wrongful depiction of the Indian map with the body distancing itself and putting the responsibility on the UN.

WHO told WION that its "approach is to follow UN guidelines and practice regarding maps as far as possible"

Explaining, "WHO, as a UN specialized agency, follows the United Nations on the representation of territories and boundaries on maps because the United Nations is entrusted with addressing issues involving matters of geo-politics for the UN system."
