Earlier, Union Minister Jitendra Singh had said that next agenda of the government is to “retrieve” parts of Jammu and Kashmir (PoK) and make it a territory of India.
“Now, the next agenda is retrieving PoK and making it a part of India. It’s not only me or my party’s commitment, but it’s a part of a resolution unanimously passed by Parliament in 1994 during Congress government headed by PV Narasimha Rao,” Jitendra Singh told reporters in Jammu.
