‘The people of Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir (PoK) are themselves raising the demand for a merger with Bharat. He expressed confidence that the people of PoK will merge with Bharat’, said Defence Minister Rajnath Singh.
Rajnath Singh said about Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s recent remarks about Kashmir, ‘Can they ever take Kashmir? They should be worried about Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir. I had said almost one and a half years ago that there will be no need for us to attack and occupy because a situation is developing there that people of PoK themselves are demanding merger with Bharat’.
On being asked whether the government was making any plan, he responded, ‘I will not say anything more, I should not. We are not going to attack any country. Bharat has a character of never attacking any country in the world, nor has it occupied an inch of other’s territory. But PoK was ours, PoK is ours, and I am confident that PoK will itself merge with Bharat’.
Earlier in February, Amjad Ayub Mirza, a political activist from Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), had claimed that the people in PoK are fed up with Pakistani occupation and are now demanding merger with Bharat.
Activist Mirza said in a video, ‘In the last few days the people of PoK have told me that they now demand to be merged into Bharat, as they are officially their citizens’.
‘The recent elections in Pakistan have just given us a fractured mandate. The upcoming elections will have a fruitful result for Bharat but we the people of PoK ask that, for how long will we have to wait to get rid of Pakistan’s oppression and get merged in Bharat?” the PoK activist added.
