India is deeply sensitive about how Kashmir, a region divided between India and Pakistan but claimed by both, is portrayed on maps. An Indian report said that in the Al-Jazeera maps, areas of Kashmir had "not been shown as a part of Indian territory." The suspension began Wednesday and is to end next Monday.
The Qatar-based network condemned the suspension and asked for talks with the Indian government, saying it had altered the maps as soon as the government pointed out the issue.
