Defence Minister Rajnath Singh(Representative Image) (PTI)Union Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Monday (27 January) said that if talk are held with it, then it would only be over Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK), reports Business Standard.
Saying, "People ask what will happen to PoK?" Singh underscored that the Parliament has already passed a resolution stating that PoK is a part of the main land India and that he has said the same in the past.
“I have said it earlier too, Jammu and Kashmir’s work is done. If talks are held with Pakistan now, they will be on PoK only,” the Defence Minister said.
Singh's assertions come as a solid backing for Army Chief General Manoj Mukund Naravane's recent comment which stated that as and when the Army gets the orders to bring back the PoK into India's administrative and sovereign control, it shall take appropriate action.
"There is a parliamentary resolution that the entire Jammu and Kashmir region is a part of India. If Parliament wants it, then that area also should belong to us. When we will get orders to that effect, we will take appropriate action,” General Naravane had said.
