Once again, the Congress has landed itself in controversy – this time it is their Kerala unit for sharing a distorted map of India. The Kerala Congress, through its official X account, posted a world map that wrongly showed Indian territory, including parts of Jammu and Kashmir, as ceded to China and Pakistan.
After facing severe backlash, the Kerala Congress quietly deleted the post without offering any apology and later reuploaded it with the corrected map.

This isn’t the first time Congress has stirred controversy by misrepresenting India’s map. On 27 June 2025, the Tamil Nadu Congress Committee Research Department faced severe backlash for using distorted maps in its brochures and pamphlets depicting parts of Jammu and Kashmir as ceded to China and Pakistan. The map was later corrected following public outrage.
The cover of a booklet titled “Jumla Government’s False Facts and Realities”, published by the TNCC Research Department, depicted Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir (PoK) as part of Pakistan and Aksai Chin as part of China.
Just days before that, on 18 June 2025, the Congress had shared yet another controversial post featuring a map that showed Pakistan, including PoK territory lawfully claimed by India. The post, aimed at criticizing Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s foreign policy, was captioned, “Narendra Modi has ruined the foreign policy,” alongside a video containing the erroneous map.
The repeated use of such maps drew fierce condemnation. Critics accused the Congress of echoing anti-national narratives and aligning with Pakistani territorial claims. Following strong reactions from the public and political rivals, the posts were quietly taken down again, without any formal explanation or apology from the party.
