PoK debate snowballs !! "Entire Kashmir has merged with India, how to take that back is India's question...", says Amit Shah

 "Entire Kashmir has merged with the Indian Union. How to take that back is India's question..." -- says Amit Shah. 

The Home Minister clarified that -- “Based on the disputes there, we don't want to claim our authority over PoK...There is mismanagement there, it is their subject......but Pakistan-occupied Kashmir is ours because the entire Kashmir has merged with the Indian Union. How to take that back is India's question..." .

"Proactive steps are not taken by speaking about them in your interview. They will be taken at the right time while keeping in view the situation of the country and world. But we have set this target [of taking back PoK]," Amit Shah said in an interview with news agency ANI.   

"We have rights over it. No one can deny that," he said. When asked if India has taken any "pro-active steps" towards the PoK issue, Shah said, “They will be taken at the right time."

Hundreds of locals in PoK are reportedly out on the streets in PoK to protest against taxes on electricity bills and reduction in subsidies. A complete strike has been observed in the territory since last Friday, bringing life to a halt, a news agency reported.

On Monday, the Pakistan Paramilitary rangers unlawfully deployed in PoK opened fire on protestors, leaving three civilians dead and several others severely wounded.
