They said it was a mistake. And we agree. Just that on the eve of the 62nd Independence Day and at a time when India's relations with its two important neighbours are not very cordial, such mistakes hurt and hurt a lot.
The mistake
Bajaj Allianz, a joint venture between the Bajaj Group and the German-based insurance giant Allianz, had posted a map of India, a copy of which is with MiD DAY, on its website that included parts of Jammu and Kashmir in Pakistan and 'gave away' the state of Arunachal Pradesh to China.
The incorrect map was spotted by members of the National Panthers Party.
They filed a complaint against Rahul Bajaj, a copy of which is with MiD DAY, at the Parliament Street police Station on August 10.
