Entire J&K part of India by law, history, will of people: BJP

Jammu, Feb 22: J&K BJP president, Sat Sharma Saturday reiterated that the entire Jammu and Kashmir, including Gilgit-Baltistan and other areas under Pakistani occupation, belonged to India “by law, history and the will of the people.”

In the same breath, he asserted that his party, in true spirit of “historic parliamentary resolution of 1994”, would not rest until Pakistan occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK) was liberated.

Sharma, accompanied by general secretary Dr Devinder Kumar Manyal, former Deputy Chief Minister Kavinder Gupta, chief spokesperson Sunil Sethi, spokesperson Arun Gupta and senior leader Daljeet Singh Chib, stated this while addressing a press conference here.

Reiteration has come on the day the party observes as ‘Sankalp Divas’ - a pledge to keep working for the implementation of the resolution of Parliament.

“BJP reiterates its unwavering stance that Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK) is an integral part of India and calls upon Pakistan to respect the principles of peaceful coexistence, and vacate the illegally occupied areas of Jammu and Kashmir,” J&K BJP president.
