Trump Jr shares map showing occupied Kashmir as part of Pakistan

The youngest son of the American president, Donald Trump Jr, has shared a world map that showed Indian occupied Kashmir (IoK) as Pakistani territory.

While the red areas on the map depicted Trump supporters from all around the world, the tweet went viral for other reasons.

Trump Jr made more than one critical error in the map. He confused India with Iran, showed the Caspian Sea, Black Sea, Azov Sea, Aral Sea, and Antarctica as countries, while many other Asian countries as water bodies.

It got more exciting when Indians realised that the entire Kashmir region had actually been shown as part of Pakistan. Trump’s map showed India in blue, while Jammu and Kashmir in red along with Pakistan, depicting support for Donald Trump.

The tweet left Indian Twitterati going crazy as they criticised Trump Jr over “wrong; depiction of geographical boundaries”.

Some politicians also pulled in. Congress leader Shashi Tharoor took a dig at the Modi government and ridiculed the prime minister’s “bromance” with Trump.

On the other hand, Pakistanis declared celebration, especially, after renowned comedian Jeremy McLellan’s tweet.

This is the second time in recent days when Pakistan’s new political map has gained international recognition. Last week, Saudi Arabia issued a celebratory banknote of 20 Riyals, showing Kashmir as part of Pakistan.
