New Delhi: The government has shot off a stern letter to Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, conveying its strong disapproval over misrepresentation of the Indian map, and asserted that any attempt by the micro-blogging platform to disrespect the country's sovereignty and integrity is totally unacceptable.
Earlier, Twitter had shown geo-location of Leh in Jammu and Kashmir, People's Republic of China.
The IT secretary, in his letter, has reminded Twitter that Leh is the headquarters of the Union Territory of Ladakh and both Ladakh as well as Jammu and Kashmir are integral and inalienable parts of India, governed by the Constitution of India.
Issuing a stern warning, the IT secretary has said that such attempts not only bring disrepute to Twitter but also raise questions about its neutrality and fairness as an intermediary.
