POK now called POJK
Ronik Sharma 4/20/2016 1:16:29 AM
POK now called POJK, so called Azad Kashmir in Pakistan, the PoK (Pakistan occupied Kashmir) has been a
bone of contention between the two neighbouring countries since 1947. The region is referred by United Nations and other international organizations, as "Pakistani-controlled Kashmir" (or Pakistan Administered Kashmir) and it was re-named as Pakistan-Occupied Jammu-Kashmir by the Modi government. The 13,297 square kilometers region which has an estimated population of about four million has added fuel to the burning enmity between India and Pakistan. India has never given up its claim on the region, though Pakistan has the administration control over PoK. Through decades all the efforts of resolving the issue has seen failure over and over again. Neither people from Pakistan, India or the world know the true story behind PoK and why the issue cannot be resolved peacefully.
India by passing a resolution in Parliament held that POJK is integral part of India.
Even Parliament of India had passed a resolution on 22 February ,1994 :
1. The state of Jammu and Kashmir has been is and shall be an integral part of India and any attempts to separate it from the rest of the country will be resisted by all necessary means
2. India has will and capacity to firmly counter all designs against its unity, sovereignty and territorial integrity and demands.
3. Pakistan must vacate the areas of the India state of Jammu and Kashmir, which they have occupied through aggression and resolves that
4. All attempts' to interfere in the internal affairs of India will be met resolutely
The Resolution was unanimously adopted.
The claims of Pakistan over concerns towards Kashmiri population regarding human rights has proved fake by series of protest in POJK against Pakistan.
