Addressing a delegation of students from Jammu and Kashmir here, Singh said the abrogation of the special status given to the state under Article 370 came after the sacrifice of three generations.

“With this (abrogation of special status), Jammu and Kashmir is fully integrated into the Union of India. There will be a time when PoK and Gilgit-Baltistan will also be part of India,” the minister of state in Prime Minister’s Office said.

PoK and Gilgit-Baltistan are currently under the occupation of Pakistan.
