General VK Singh, a former Army commander and current Union Minister, asserted that Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) would soon join India “on its own.”
“PoK will merge with India on its own, wait for some time,” the Union minister for State said while responding to a query in a press conference here in Dausa regarding demands of Shia Muslims in PoK seeking opening of border crossing with India.
The minister was addressing a press conference in Dausa during a Parivartan Sankalp Yatra (PSY) programme of the BJP.
The minister for the Union also discussed the accomplishments of the G20 Summit, which India presided over and just ended. The grandeur of the summit, he claimed, has given India a special place on the international stage and enabled the nation to demonstrate its resolve.
“The G-20 meeting was unprecedented. It has never been done before nor any other country except India can organise a summit like this. Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, India has proved its mettle in the world. The G-20 group includes all the powerful countries of the world,” Singh said.
The minister also harshly criticized the Rajasthan government for the state of law and order, saying that the state is suffering from a lack of law and order under the current Congress administration.
“This was the reason why the BJP had to organise the Parivartan Sankalp Yatra to go among the people and listen to them. The people want a parivartan (change) and they are coming with us on this yatra and have made up their mind to bring about change,” he said, adding that the yatra is getting immense public support across the state.
