Defense Minister Rajnath Singh recently commented on. Pakistan Occupied Kashmir potentially joining India. Jammu and Kashmir National Conference leader Farooq Abdullah responded controversially, warning about Pakistan's possession of atomic weapons. Abdullah's remarks were met with criticism.
In an interview with news agency ANI, Abdullah stated that if the defense minister aims to acquire POK, there should be no interference. He highlighted Pakistan's nuclear capabilities as a deterrent. Singh, in an earlier speech, expressed optimism about POK willingly integrating with India due to evolving circumstances in the region.
He emphasized that POK belongs to India and foresaw a peaceful merger driven by the populace. Singh also noted significant improvements in Kashmir post the Article 370 abrogation, hinting at a potential relaxation of security measures in the near future.
