Congress Shares Post Depicting PoK As Part Of Pakistan, Deletes It Following Backlash

The Congress party found itself at the center of a fresh controversy after sharing a post on its official X (formerly Twitter) account on 18 June 2025, that featured a map of Pakistan including Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) — a territory legally claimed by India. The post, intended to criticize Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s foreign policy, included the caption, “Narendra Modi has ruined the foreign policy”, alongside a video depicting the disputed map.

The use of the map sparked widespread outrage, with critics accusing Congress of promoting anti-national sentiments and aligning with Pakistani narratives. Many called it a serious lapse in judgment, alleging the party was indirectly endorsing Pakistan’s territorial claims. Following intense backlash from political opponents and the public alike, the Congress deleted the post without offering an immediate explanation.

The incident has added to the party’s recent struggles, with the BJP and other political voices demanding accountability and clarification over “highly irresponsible act.”
