Union minister Jitendra Singh has said that the next agenda of the government is to “retrieve” parts of Jammu and Kashmir (PoK) and make it a territory of India.

“Now, the next agenda is retrieving PoK and making it a part of India. It is not only me or my party’s commitment, but it is a part of a resolution unanimously passed by Parliament in 1994 during the Congress government headed by PV Narasimha Rao”, he told reporters while highlighting the success of 100 days of the Narendra Modi government.

The minister said that the BJP government in its first 100 days took several historic decisions but abrogation of Article 370 was the biggest achievement of them. He said that Kashmir was “neither shut nor under curfew” and that the situation was fast getting back to normal.

“The government has taken several historic and landmark decisions at an unparalleled scale but the abrogation of Article 370 is the biggest achievement of the government under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the first 100 days of its second term which is being rejoiced by the people of Jammu and Kashmir”, he added.
