New Delhi, Apr 22: The Army has withdrawn the controversial class three CBSE textbooks from schools under which shows the entire PoK region as 'Azad Jammu and Kashmir', there is no explanations for that faux pas yet.
The new book shows the map of Jammu and Kashmir just the same as how the Pakistani government claims it to be.
The Gilgit-Baltistan region is not shown as Pakistan occupied Kashmir instead it's called Northern areas while the entire PoK region is called 'Azad Jammu and Kashmir'..
"We do not have information on the issue. If such a thing has been done, action will be taken," he said.
Reportedly, some Army commanders have now asked some of the school principals to get back to them with the books so that they can take a look. In the meantime, the Army has decided to write to the CBSE and the HRD Ministry regarding the issue.
The Army has been maintaining that its position vis-a-vis the issue is very clear since the Army is not a publishing authority. Also, the book was published by a leading publishing house based in Karol Bagh in Delhi, which means that, probably, the HRD Ministry is going to sit up and take notice.
