After revocation of Jammu and Kashmir's special status, a junoon (craze) for the liberation of Pakistan-occupied Kashmir has spread among people, said Union minister Anurag Thakur on Monday.
Union Minister of State for Finance Thakur made the statement here at the BJP headquarters amid repeated "war" talks by Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan over J&K.
"When two nuclear-armed countries fight, if they fight a conventional war, there is every possibility that it is going to end up in a nuclear war. The unthinkable," Khan had told Al Jazeera channel on Sunday.
Interacting with reporters at the BJP headquarters here, Thakur said, "The BJP kept its promise of abrogating Article 370 of the Constitution which triggered jubilation across the country. I have been meeting people and there is a 'janoon' (craze) among them for liberation of PoK."
He, however, said, "Whenever India trusted Pakistan, it was betrayed."
