Senior Congress leader Digvijay Singh's gaffe of describing Kashmir as 'India-occupied Kashmir' landed him in fresh trouble with Twitterati flaying 'Diggy Raja' for his slip of tongue
Twitterati dub Digvijay 'king of faux pas' for 'India-occupied Kashmir' remark
Senior Congress leader Digvijay Singh on Thursday stoked a new controversy after describing Kashmir as 'India-occupied Kashmir' while criticising Prime Minister Narendra Modi's utterances on Pakistan.
"Prime Minister Modi seems more concerned about Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, which is welcome, than he is interested in holding talks with India's Kashmiris," Digvijay told reporters.

"Boosting trust among Kashmiris, whether they belong to Pakistan-occupied Kashmir or India-occupied Kashmir, is possible only through dialogue," he said.

The Congress General Secretary later corrected himself by saying he only meant that Modi is not worried about "India's Kashmir -- not worried about the valley -- but worried about Pak-occupied Kashmir".
Digvijay's gaffe invited immediate reactions on social media.

India-occupied Kashmir - No patriotic Indian can ever utter such words even by mistake, or by accident or even unconsciously.

Won't be surprised if Pakistan sends this clipping to UN claiming not only Kashmir but entire India.
