India's Focus On Retrieving PoK Gets Assertion

While Pakistan is set to rake up the issue of Jammu and Kashmir at the UN General Assembly (UNGA), India is increasingly turning the focus on Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) amidst its aspiration to retrieve it “someday”.
Pakistan is desperately trying to internationalize the issue of Jammu and Kashmir but India has made it clear that the only unfinished part of the issue is reclaiming territories of the undivided state which are under illegal control of Pakistan.
Those territories, including parts of Jammu and Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan, were annexed by Pakistan by sending its Army and irregulars on October 22, 1947.
The Narendra Modi government has asserted that if there are any talks with Pakistan on the issue of Jammu and Kashmir, those would be about how to retrieve those parts of the state from Pakistan.
“Our position on PoK is, has been, and will always be very clear. PoK is part of India, and we expect one day that we will have physical jurisdiction over it,” External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said at a press conference here a few days.
Prior to that, Union Home Minister Amit Shah said in Parliament over a month back that retrieving PoK is the only thing that can be talked about with Pakistan.
Citing a 1994 resolution of Parliament which spoke about taking back PoK, Shah said, “We will give our lives” to ensure that.
