Trinamool MP Dr Santanu Sen has written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi that the World Health Organization is showing a wrong map of India. "When I clicked the site WHO Covid19.int, a world map was displayed and when I zoomed the portion of India, it was showing a blue map with surprisingly two different colours for Jammu and Kashmir," the MP wrote. He said when he clicked over the blue portion, the map was showing him India's data, but the other portion was showing the data of Pakistan, he said.
"Moreoever, in our said Indian map, the portion of the state of Arunachal Pradesh is also demarcated separately," the MP wrote.
"I strongly believe that it is a serious international issue and our government should have checked it and taken up the issue much before, being much more vigilant," he added.
The World Health Organization on its homepage has an interactive map of the world which provides the latest global numbers of Covid cases on a daily basis.
