PoK will remain with Pakistan, says Farooq Abdullah
Jammu: Former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Farooq Abdullah on Friday made a controversial statement when he said that Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) will continue to remain in Pakistan.
“PoK is in Pakistan and will remain; J&K is in
India and will remain. We need to understand
this,” Farooq Abdullah said.
“War is not the solution, only lives are lost.
Dialogue is the only option,” he added, speaking
on India-Pak relationship.
It is not clear what prompted the National
Conference leader to make such remarks.
Reacting to the comments, J&K Deputy Chief
Minister Nirmal Singh said, “1994 Parliament
resolution clearly said that PoK is
constitutionally a part of India.”
