Rajnath Singh Declares Jammu and Kashmir Incomplete Without Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir

The Defence Minister criticizes Pakistan for fostering terrorism from PoK and underscores its significance to India's territorial integrity.

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh stated that Jammu and Kashmir is incomplete without Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir (PoK), describing it as a foreign territory for Pakistan.
Singh accused Pakistan of using PoK to operate terrorist training camps and launch pads near the border and warned that such activities must end.
He highlighted that the Indian government has made efforts to integrate J&K with the rest of India, including the abrogation of Article 370, which has significantly changed the region's situation.
Singh criticized the 1965 Indian government for failing to capitalize on military gains during the war, which could have curtailed cross-border terrorism earlier.
During the Armed Forces Veterans' Day event in Akhnoor, Singh emphasized the sacrifices of Indian soldiers and the need to ensure a dignified life for PoK residents misled by Pakistan's anti-India agenda.
