Ø The
discussion around the Geospatial Information Regulation Bill, 2016, turned into
a diplomatic war of words on Tuesday when India “firmly” rejected Pakistan’s
objections to the draft Bill, saying Islamabad does not have any right to
object to an internal “legislative matter” of India. “The proposed bill is an
entirely internal legislative matter of India, since the whole of the State of
J&K is an integral part of India. Pakistan or any other party has no locus
standi in the matter,” said Vikas Swarup, spokesperson for the Ministry of
External Affairs. The draft Geospatial Information Bill plans to bring in a set
of legally binding regulations regarding the geospatial information of India
which may include provisions to penalise inaccurate depiction of India in maps.
