New Delhi: A strong protest by Indians using social media over an infographic showing India’s map without Jammu and Kashmir has forced Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg to delete the post, which he had put up on his social networking site.
The map was posted by the Facebook founder on his page following the launch in Malawi of his company’s Internet.org. “Don’t need your free Internet. All Indians log off Facebook if map is not corrected...” reacted one netizen, while another said, “After China, now Mark Zuckerberg posts Indian map without Kashmir. I hope Government bans FB like they did with Al-Jazeera (sic).” Chinese state-owned CCTV recently showed an Indian map without Jammu and Kashmir and Arunachal Pradesh while reporting on PM Narendra Modi’s visit to China this week. Internet.org is a platform that aims to give Internet access to people by offering select content and services for free.
