Desk : Nepal Airlines has found itself at the centre of a controversy after a social media post from its official account displayed Jammu and Kashmir as part of Pakistan on a map. The post triggered strong reactions, particularly in India, leading to widespread criticism online.
Soon after the post surfaced, social media users called it misleading and objectionable, stating that it misrepresented India’s territorial integrity. The issue quickly gained traction, drawing attention across platforms and sparking heated discussions.
As the backlash intensified, Nepal Airlines deleted the controversial post from its social media handles. However, by then, the image had already been widely circulated and had become a topic of international discussion.
Experts note that Jammu and Kashmir remains a highly sensitive geopolitical issue between India and Pakistan. In such a context, any misrepresentation in public or official communication by international entities can quickly escalate into diplomatic sensitivities.
At present, Nepal Airlines has not issued a detailed official clarification regarding the incident.
