News India Live, Digital Desk: After the removal of Article 370 from Jammu and Kashmir, the activities regarding ‘PoK’ i.e. Pakistan Occupied Kashmir have intensified in the corridors of Indian politics. The latest claim by a senior leader of the Bharatiya Janata Party has indicated that the Modi government is now going to move towards ‘Mission PoK’. It is being claimed that through the upcoming delimitation and legislative processes, some major step can be taken in the Parliament regarding the withdrawal of PoK or the seats there.
Will a new draft of delimitation come in Parliament?
After the statements of the BJP leader, it has become common to discuss that the government can make some major legal changes regarding the seats reserved for PoK. It is noteworthy that seats for PoK are already left vacant in Jammu and Kashmir Assembly. But now there is discussion that under the new rules of delimitation, a concrete outline is being prepared for the nomination or election of representatives on these seats. If this happens, it will be a historic turning point in terms of India’s integrity and diplomacy.
India’s stance on PoK and global pressure
India has always been saying that PoK is an integral part of India and Pakistan has illegally occupied it. In the last few years, Defense Minister Rajnath Singh and Home Minister Amit Shah have said several times in public forums that taking back PoK is our goal. This claim of the BJP leader is being seen as a sequel to the same resolution. Experts believe that this step will not only increase international pressure on Pakistan, but will also create a new wave of nationalism within the country.
Changing picture of Kashmir and future strategy
Amidst claims of peace and development in the valley, the government’s entire focus is now on the part which is still under the occupation of the neighboring country. Political pundits say that after the assembly elections, the stalwarts in power in Delhi are now preparing for a big bill regarding PoK. If such a proposal comes in the Parliament, it will be difficult for the opposition parties to oppose it, because it is a matter directly related to the sovereignty of the country.
