JKUF asks people to support to Modi govt on PoK, Baltistan

The Jammu and Kashmir Unity Foundation (JKUF) delegates today hailed the Narendta Modi government for raising the issue of PoK and Gilgit, Baltistan into the national and international focus and announced to extend its support to the cause.
The delegates also resolved to mobilise world opinion about the human rights violation taking place in these areas by Pakistan.
Addressing the gathering, Rajya Sabha MP, Shamsher Singh said it was after 65 years that the government of India, which is now led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has resolved to bring the issue of Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir (PoK), Gilgit and Baltistan into the focus of national and international audience.

"All these years, because of skewed policies of previous governments, we were only discussing that part of Jammu and Kashmir which had legally acceded to India. We had almost forgotten PoK and Gilgit, Baltistan," he said.
He asked the people to support the government in New Delhi so that the plight of people living in the occupied territories was heard across the globe.
JKUF Convenor Ajaat Jamwal termed October 22 as a black day in the history of Jammu and Kashmir.
"We have assembled here to observe October 22 as black day in the history of Jammu and Kashmir as on this day in 1947, Pakistan invaded the state and captured one-third of its territory," he said.
