If such a map is there on any platform or social media, I don’t know the details, but obviously we object to that."

 

Further, he also added, "This is not the only instance; Pakistan regularly shows our territory as their territory in their maps, we object to it. But like you know, there is nothing new to it, except this time, like you said, that they are using it for their military uniform."

 

 

This statement came after the Pakistan Air Force recently received the delivery of the cutting-edge Akinci unmanned combat aerial vehicles (UCAVs). A special patch has been designed for the Pakistani pilots of this drone. However, according to reports, this patch put on the drone given by Turkey to Pakistan displays Kashmir as part of Pakistan.
