The incident has come a few days after the Imran Khan-led Cabinet approved a new political map which includes the entire region of Jammu and Kashmir, Ladakh, the erstwhile princely state of Junagadh in Gujarat and Sir Creek. As per the new map approved by the Pakistan cabinet, the new political map claims certain territories of Jammu and Kashmir as belonging to Pakistan. "This is the most historic day in Pakistan's history," Khan said while addressing a news conference after chairing the meeting of federal cabinet, which approved the new map earlier in the day. Khan said that Pakistan has launched a political map which shows the whole Kashmir region, including "Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir" as part of his country's territory. India reacted sharply to the development and stated that the ridiculous assertions made by the neighbouring country have neither legal validity nor international credibility. India lashed out at Pakistan by terming the new release of wrongly shown Indian territories in their map as "ridiculous assertions" which neither have "legal validity nor international credibility". In fact, this new effort only confirms reality of Pakistan’s obsession with territorial aggrandisement supported by cross-border terrorism, said the Indian side.
