Jammu rally to reiterate India’s claim on PoJK
A Sankalp (pledge) will be held in Jammu on May 8 by the J&K People’s Forum to reiterate India’s claim over Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK), the organisers of the event said on Friday
A Sankalp (pledge) will be held in Jammu on May 8 by the J&K People’s Forum to reiterate India’s claim over Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK), the organisers of the event said on Friday.
The organisers said Union home minister Amit Shah has been invited to headline the event and he has agreed in principle to take part. However, officials in Shah’s office familiar with the matter denied that his participation had been confirmed.
“The home minister is likely to be part of the rally, which is a part of the Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav Se Swarnim Bharat Ki Ore programme, wherein we will take a sankalp (pledge) to reiterate India’s claim over PoJK,” former J&K deputy chief minister and BJP leader Kavinder Gupta said.
The Jammu and Kashmir People’s Forum said the programme on May 8 will recall the sacrifices of PoJK refugees, West Pakistan refugees, and Chhamb refugees of the 1965 and 1971 Indo-Pak wars.
