New Delhi: According to a report, Saudi Arabia has now withdrawn the wrong map of India printed on the Riyadh note just before the G-20 summit. The news, citing sources, is that not only has the note been withdrawn, but its printing has also been stopped for now.

What was the event:
In fact, Saudi Arabia had printed a wrong map of India on its 0 riyal banknote, showing undivided Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh separately. The important thing was that in this note, Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh were shown separately from India in the global map made in 20 riyal notes. On which India had strongly objected. This note has now been withdrawn by Saudi Arabia over this strong objection.

How was this banknote:
Significantly, this disputed banknote of 20 riyals had the logo of King Salman and G-20 Saudi Summit on one side, while on the other side there was also a global map of G-20 countries. But in this map, the whole of Jammu and Kashmir, including Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (POK), Gilgit-Baltistan, was shown as a separate country. On this, External Affairs Ministry (MEA) spokesperson Anurag Srivastava had said last Thursday that, “We had raised the issue of misrepresentation of Indian borders with Saudi officials. Talks were held with Saudi officials in Riyadh as well as in New Delhi. We have been informed by the Saudi authorities that they have noted our concerns in this matter. “

This time the G-20 summit will be ‘virtual’:
Let it be known that the King of Saudi Arabia will preside over the 15th G-20 Summit this time. This wide-ranging summit to be held from November 21-22 has been organized on the theme of ‘Realizing the Opportunities of the 21st Century for All’. Significantly, due to the Corona epidemic, this time the G-20 conference is to be held in a ‘virtual’ form.
