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.

Digvijay's gaffe invited immediate reactions on social media.
