PTI activists stop book’s sale, claim the book’s publisher made a mistake in the map
Many condemn Imran for being a man of ‘double standards’
LAHORE - As a damage control measure, the sale of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan’s book, Pakistan, with a map showing Kashmir as a part of India, has been stopped by the party activists, who have picked all book’s copies from the market, Pakistan Today learnt on Monday.
Around 300 books had been sold out when suddenly PTI decided to stop the book’s sale and lift the remaining copies of the book from book stores. “All books were picked up from the market because of the presence of a controversial map in the book, which showed the occupied Kashmir as a part of India,” disclosed a source.
Political parties, educationists and the youth have stormed Imran Khan’s book with criticism, demanding the PTI leader to clarify his stance by addressing the public. The book’s demand had surged, especially among the youth, when they came to know about the controversial map in the book. However, to their disappointment, the book is not available in the market now.
The book’s sale continued for 10 days, not only in Pakistan but outside the country, including UK where its launching ceremony was held. The book’s sale, however, continues outside Pakistan.
The book contains around 390 pages, divided into 10 chapters. Imran had dedicated this book to his sons Suliman, Kasim and the youth of Pakistan. The book is on the personal history of Imran, including rare pictures of Imran and his ex-wife, parents, national heroes, some cricketers and his relatives. According to Geography professors and map experts, the two maps displayed in the books had four glaring technical errors: 1) occupied Kashmir was shown as a part of India, 2) parts of Kashmir held by China were not mentioned clearly, 3) in a small map, Kashmir was displayed in Indian colour, 4) Junnagarh and Manavadar, two states which announced their affiliation with Pakistan but India occupied it forcefully, were also shown as a part of India.
Punjab government spokesman Pervaiz Rashid condemned Imran Khan, saying he was a man with “double standards”, who just wanted to “please the west and India”. He said Imran was doing just a “drama” by stopping his book’s sale. He said that a man who “could not deal with a map” could not run the affairs of an entire state.
Former MNA and JI leader Farid Paracha said the government should seek an explanation from Imran over this mistake. He said that Imran should publicly clarify his stance on Kashmir.
A PU Geography Department teacher, Munawer Sabir, said that Kashmir was believed to be one of the hot spots of the world as it was the meeting point of three nuclear powers; India, Pakistan and China, who were partners on this issue. He said that Pakistan never changed its policy on Kashmir, while international writers also showed Kashmir as a disputed territory. He said the matter could not be resolved by simply stopping the book’s sale; Imran should settle the matter with the publisher.
Citizen, Aagha Javaid, said the book was impressive, however the map disheartened him. He said it was beyond his understandings why did not Imran countercheck the book’s maps. He said it was an attempt to “gratify an anti-Pakistan lobby”. Insaaf Students Federation (ISF) President Farrukh Habib said it was the publisher’s mistake and Imran could not do such a mistake as he was “pro-Pakistan”. PTI Information Secretary Umer Cheema said that Transworld Publishers, who published PTI leader’s books, withdrew the book, as it was their mistake and Imran had no concern with the mistake.

a very lame excuse can a man of imran khan stature could afford not to cross check and proof read the manuscript which was about to be published
