"If Centre Orders" Sena Backs Army Chief's Comment On Retaking PoK

The Shiv Sena today welcomed the Army chief's remark on retaking Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), urging the center to give a directive in this regard because it would be the best way to teach the "Tukde-Tukde Gang" a lesson.
"Tukde-Tukde Gang" is the term used by right-wing activists to refer to ideological rivals, who they allege support separatist elements in the country.

"General MM Naravane put his Marathi pride on display soon after taking charge as the Indian Army chief. He has said in clear terms that PoK is ours… if the center gives orders, we will capture PoK," the Shiv Sena said in its mouthpiece Saamna, adding that most of Pakistan's terror-training camps are located in that region.

Although the Shiv Sena severed links with the BJP before forming a government in Maharashtra with the Congress and the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) late last year, its views on several issues — such as the scrapping of Jammu and Kashmir's special status, Pakistan and nationalist icon VD Savarkar — remain unchanged.
