India’s Defence Minister, Rajnath Singh, made a heartfelt appeal to the residents of Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), urging them to join India. Singh emphasized that while Pakistan treats them as outsiders, India sees them as part of its own family.
Pakistan’s Treatment of PoK Residents
During his speech, Rajnath Singh criticized Pakistan for its stance on the people living in PoK, stating that Pakistan considers them as foreigners. Singh argued that the government of Pakistan has done little to improve the lives of these residents and has long neglected the region’s development and welfare.
India’s Open Invitation to PoK
In contrast, Rajnath Singh highlighted India’s welcoming approach, asserting that India views the residents of PoK as their own citizens. He assured them of equal treatment, access to resources, and development opportunities under Indian governance. His message was clear: the people of PoK have a rightful place in India, and they should consider uniting with the country for a better future.
Historical Context and India’s Vision
Singh’s remarks are rooted in India’s long-standing claim over the region, which has been a point of contention between India and Pakistan since the partition in 1947. He reaffirmed that India’s vision is to integrate all regions under its administration, ensuring peace, stability, and prosperity for all its citizens.
In a powerful address, Rajnath Singh extended India’s hand to the people of PoK, reiterating that they are viewed not as foreigners, but as a part of India. His call for unity underscores India’s commitment to ensuring the well-being of all people, including those in disputed regions.
