The youth wing of the Indian National Congress, the country's chief opposition party, has been excoriated by Twitterati for tweeting a post showing Azad Kashmir as part of Pakistan.

The Friday tweet criticised Indian premier Narendra Modi for allowing Pakistan to "silently increase nuclear warheads" while he busied himself delivering "jumla strikes after jumla strikes."
