India Objects To Saudi Arabia's Banknote Depicting Ladakh, J&K As Independent
Following the release of a new 20 riyal Saudi banknote that showed Ladakh and J&K as independent territories, Indian government has asked Arabian authorities to "take corrective steps" while opposing it strongly. The banknote was released to commemorate the G-20 Summit to be held in Saudi Arabia on November 21-22. Saying that Ladakh and J&K are integral parts of India, Foreign Ministry stated this is a "gross misinterpretation" of India's boundaries.
