Soon people of PoK will demand that they want to be with India: Rajnath Singh

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Sunday said that soon people of Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) will demand that they want to be with India and not under the rule of Pakistan, and the day this happens, a goal of our Parliament will also be accomplished.

Singh was addressing 'Jammu Jan Samvad rally' via video conferencing.

He also said that earlier in Kashmir, protests demanding 'Kashmir azaadi' were held and flags of Pakistan and ISIS were seen, but now only Indian flag is seen there.

The defence minister also paid tribute to Sarpanch Ajay Pandita, who died in an attack recently.

''I pay my tribute to Sarpanch Ajay Pandita, who died in a cowardly attack and also Mohd Makbul Sherwani of Baramulla, who in 1947 hoisted the Indian flag in Kashmir valley,'' Singh noted.

He also said that India should not be known as an importing country in the world.

''Our Government has decided that the import of goods from abroad should be stopped. Our country should not be known as an importing country in the world, but India should be known as an exporting country,'' he said.
