Rajnath Singh Turns Focus On PoK After Pak Needles India On Kashmir

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh today continued to signal the country’s tough stand to Pakistan, suggesting that should bilateral talks happen, it would not be on Jammu and Kashmir, but Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir – the territory under Pakistan’s control since it invaded the state in 1947.

The minister’s comment came days after he said that India reserves the right to revoke its ‘No First Use’ pledge – the cornerstone of its nuclear weapons policy for decades. It was seen as a reaction to Pakistan’s move to raise the government’s decision on Jammu and Kashmir in various international forums.
