New Delhi: Congress’ Chhattisgarh unit landed in a soup after it tweeted an image of India sans Kashmir on Sunday. The Bharat Janata Party (BJP) workers in Raipur lodged a complaint against Congress for posting the image of a map of India without Kashmir on INC (Indian National Congress) Chhattisgarh twitter handle.

“A case has been registered under certain sections of the cybercrime. Further investigation is underway,” Yadumani Sidar, SHO, Civil Lines told the news agency ANI.

Congress said there was a printing error in image. “There was a printing mistake in the picture. This happened while it was being compressed. An apology was rendered and picture was immediately removed from the Chhattisgarh Congress’ Twitter handle because the party stands for integrity of the nation,” Chhattisgarh Congress’ Jayavardhan Birsa told the news agency ANI.

Chhattisgarh will go to polls in two phases on November 12 and 20, counting will be done on December 11.

“In Raman Singh’s government, 27,000 women have gone missing in the last 15 years. They are asking for the fourth term, why?” INC Chhattisgarh said in the tweet which was later deleted.

After the incident, BJP attacked the Congress dubbing it, “Pakistan Congress Committee”.
