JAMMU/MUMBAI, Nov 12: The state unit of the BJP on Sunday said that the “whole of Jammu and Kashmir belongs to India and Pakistan must vacate illegally occupied areas of the state.”
“Indian Parliament made it clear that the whole of Jammu and Kashmir belongs to India and Pakistan has to vacate illegally occupied areas,” state BJP president Sat Sharma said here.
Sharma was reacting to a statement by the National Conference president and former Chief Minister Farooq Abdullah, who which said “PoK belongs to Pakistan and that won't change even if India and Pakistan kept fighting wars.”
Farooq’s statement on Saturday came days after Pakistan Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi rejected the idea of an “independent Kashmir”, saying it was not based on “reality.”
In the meanwhile, the Union Minister Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi also criticized Dr Farooq Abdullah over his statement saying that the National Conference president “talks irrationally sometimes.”
“Farooq Abdullah saab bujurg vyakti hain, kabhi kabhi behki baatein karate hain (Abdullah is a senior leader, but he talks irrationally sometimes),” the minority affairs minister told reporters in response to a question.
