Days after India's surgical strikes in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (POK), the state BJP's Uttar Pradesh unit is planning to accord a "warm reception" to Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar who is set to visit here tomorrow.
"Parrikar, a Rajya Sabha member from the state, arrives in state capital tomorrow and party cadres will accord him a warm reception," a BJP spokesman said.
