The US State Department has removed the inaccurate maps of India and Pakistan from its website which did not reflect the correct boundary and geographical locations. The US State Department spokesperson Victoria Nuland told reporters that they have taken the map of India off the website. She said, the map did contain some inaccuracies and wasn’t drawn properly. She said it was unintentional and the US will put up a new map on the website that is accurate.

The US State Department removed from its website the maps of both India and Pakistan, as they showed Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (PoK) as part of Pakistan. It was first reported by a major Indian daily, following which the Indian Government had lodged a strong protest with the United States State Department
