Whole of Jammu and Kashmir is an integral part of India. Indian sovereignty is constitutionally applicable to this entire area. The Parliament of India had reiterated its position by a resolution in 1993. It is surprising that in several rounds of Indo-Pak talk or at any other international forum India has not raised this issue even for once. Have we decided to forget it? On the contrary, India recaptured a part of POK In 1965 war and after the war returned the area. If we talk of making LOC the international border, this offer dose not have international legal sanctity. Even today we stand by the resolution passed by our parliament in 1993 that whole of J&K is an integral part of India. POK is strategically important as a geopolitical area.
Some are of the opinion that annexation done by Razakars and tribal people during medieval period was fare. This is not valid. Nor it is validated by any. Our legal sovereignty over this area is valid even today. POK has virtually created strategic cushion. This area of POK created strategic hot-land between India and northern area of Kashmir. This area has common boundaries with Tibet, Xinjiang, Afghanistan and other Central Asian countries are its next door neighbors. Further this has blocked our view to North-West world.
India must raise this issue time and again at international forums as well as Indo-Pak talks.
