NEW DELHI: The Central government has issued notice to Twitter seeking an explanation for showing the district of Leh as part of Jammu and Kashmir and not of the Union Territory of Ladakh. The Ministry of Electronics and IT has given five days to Twitter to explain why legal action should not be initiated against it for disrespecting the territorial integrity of India by showing an incorrect map. The ministry has mentioned that showing Leh as part of Jammu and Kashmir is a deliberate attempt by the company to undermine the will of the sovereign Parliament of India which had declared Ladakh as a Union Territory of India with its headquarters in Leh.
