Breaking News: PoK Will Choose To Join India, Says Defence Minister Rajnath Singh | ABP NEWS

India’s Defence Minister Rajnath Singh recently sparked debate by stating that Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) will itself express the desire to join India. Following the Pahalgam terror attack and India’s retaliatory Operation Sindoor, the question arises: will PoK return through dialogue or war? Singh emphasized that future talks with Pakistan will focus solely on PoK and terrorism, ruling out other issues. This marks a shift towards diplomatic engagement, balancing strength with restraint. Singh highlighted India’s power but stressed choosing the path of dialogue. He conveyed optimism that PoK residents, witnessing India’s progress and unity, will eventually assert their belonging to India. Historically, PoK has been a contested region since 1947, divided into parts such as Gilgit-Baltistan and Aksai Chin, with Pakistan maintaining control over 5,180 sq km of Kashmir territory. India’s stance remains firm: PoK is an integral, non-negotiable part of the nation. Singh’s statement reflects a strategic message — while India retains military readiness, it believes sustainable resolution lies in winning hearts and minds within PoK. The defense minister’s words rekindle hope for peaceful reunification and highlight India’s evolving approach in securing its territorial integrity.
