Modi writes to PM on misleading Pakistani maps

GANDHINAGAR, JUNE 21. The Gujarat Chief Minister, Narendra Modi, today drew the attention of the Prime Minister, Manmohan Singh, to the misleading depictions in various Pakistani government publications, terming the erstwhile princely states of Junagadh and Manavadar ``disputable territories.''

In a letter to the Prime Minister, Mr. Modi pointed out the seriousness of the issue and urged Mr. Singh to ``neither tolerate nor ignore it.''

Mr. Modi also requested Mr. Singh to register a protest with the Pakistani Government at the ongoing Secretary-level talks between the two countries.

``Gujarat being a bordering State, the issue is very sensitive and, therefore, such attempts should be sorted out at the earliest,'' the letter added.
