WATCH: Union Minister VK Singh says, PoK will merge with India on its own soon

The Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) would inevitably unite with India soon, said Minister of State of Road Transport and Highways retired general VK Singh. Responding to a query regarding protests by Shia Muslims in PoK, calling for the opening of the Kargil border crossing India, Singh said, “PoK will merge with India on its own, wait for some time.”

After an FIR was registered against a Shia cleric last month, massive protests erupted in the Skardu region of Gilgit-Baltistan of the PoK on 25 August with people demanding opening up the borders to meet their relatives on the other side of the border in Ladakh. ‘G20 has been successful’ Speaking about the success of G20 Summit that was held under India’s leadership in New Delhi on 9 and 10 September, the Union Minister said, “The G-20 event has been successful. Such an organised event has never happened before. Around 200 meetings were organised in 60 cities of the country.” Singh further said other countries have also praised India for organising such a successful event. “India has achieved a big victory in the collective manifesto issued in the conference. The world was divided on many issues including Ukraine, but with the wisdom of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, we all together have found a way out that no country had any objection to,” Singh said while addressing a press conference on the sidelines of BJP’s Parivartan Sankalp Yatra in Rajasthan’s Dausa. He said the formation of the Biofuel Alliance and the corridor from India to Europe will pave the way for India’s economic progress. ‘Rahul Gandhi has no understanding of religion’ Slamming Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for his comments of Hindutva, Singh said, “What can be said of a person who wears pants and shirts in India and kurta-pyjama when he travels abroad? Before beginning the Kailash Mansarovar pilgrimage, he put on the sacred thread, visited the temple, rang the bell and ate meat … He is one of those people who have no understanding of religion.” On Saturday, while interacting with students and academics in Paris, Rahul Gandhi said there is nothing “Hindu” about BJP’s actions and asserted that the ruling party is out to grab power at any cost. “I have read the Gita, I have read a number of Upanishads, I have read many Hindu books; there is nothing Hindu about what the BJP does, absolutely nothing,” the Congress MP said in response to a question about the rise of “Hindu nationalism”. “I have not read anywhere, in no Hindu book, from no learned Hindu person have I ever heard that you should terrorise, harm people who are weaker than you. So, this idea, this word, Hindu nationalists, this is a wrong word. They are not Hindu nationalists. They have nothing to do with Hinduism. They are out to get power at any cost, and they will do anything to get power… They want dominance of a few people and that is what they are about. There is nothing Hindu about them,” he said.
