JAMMU: The Jammu and
Kashmir unit of the BJP on Sunday said that the whole of Jammu and Kashmir belongs to India, and Pakistan must vacate illegally occupied areas of the state.
"Indian Parliament has made it clear that the whole of Jammu and Kashmir belongs to India and Pakistan has to vacate illegally occupied areas," state BJP president Sat Sharma said here.
Sharma was reacting to a statement by the opposition National Conference president and former chief minister Farooq Abdullah, which said
PoK belongs to Pakistan and "that won't change" even if India and Pakistan kept fighting wars.
