Members of the Bharatiya Janata Party attacked and burned a Nokia Store in Jabalpur City in a protest over the mobile phone company's mapping system

The latest release of Nokia Maps the company’s own GPS-enabled navigational mapping application, listed Kashmir as being part of Pakistan.

Youthful members of the BJP raided a Nokia Store in Jabalpur City, grabbing Nokia handsets and setting them on fire. One of the raids organisers said Nokia Maps was a case of anti-nationalism. He demanded that Nokia and other people involved in the conspiracy be arrested for spreading anti-nationalistic activities. He said that the protest will intensify if Nokia is not charged.

Rafiq Khan, the Nokia Store owner said that he didn't object to the protest as such saying it was Nokia's problem. 

He was a bit miffed when the mob entered and started torching his shop and hoped they would not do it again. X
