Faced with severe backlash, microblogging site Twitter on Monday removed from its website a distorted map of India, which depicted Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh as not part of the country. The map, which appeared on the Twitter website's Career page under the heading 'Tweep Life' section was removed from the webpage late today. The incorrect map attracted heavy criticism from netizens and demands of action against the microblogging site.

Bharatiya Janata Party's national president of IT cell Amit Malviya on Monday slammed the social media platform for posting an erroneous map. Speaking to ANI, Amit Malviya said, "This is not the first time that Twitter has got India's map wrong and that's perhaps the reason why intermediary guidelines mandate that social media and tech company employees should understand the local cultural sensitivities in territorial issues. I guess it is time to realise that there is inadequacy in compliance with the law of land."
