New Delhi – External Affairs Minister, S Jaishankar asserted that Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir is an integral part of India and said that every Indian political party is committed to ensuring that PoK returns to India, while addressing the students at Gargi College. Earlier, Defense Minister Rajnath Singh had also made a statement that India will not have to use force to claim Pakistan occupied Kashmir; as the people there themselves would become a part of India.

Indians assumed that Article 370 would never be abrogated; but the BJP government revoked it in August 2019. Now Indians are aspiring for the PoK to be merged back to India, which will come true eventually.
