Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury: When will govt reclaim PoK?

Congress leader in Lok Sabha Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury on Monday asked the government when it would reclaim Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), while also demanding that elections be held in Jammu and Kashmir and its statehood restored.

Asked about the verdict, Chowdhury said it was also the Congress' view that Article 370 was a temporary ad hoc measure and when it was put in place, the reasons were explained "We have been demanding in Parliament that when will you restore the statehood. Inside Parliament, (Home Minister) Amit Shah was saying with great conviction that we will reclaim Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, so they should tell us when will they reclaim PoK. Elections will come and go but reclaim PoK before this election," Chowdhury told reporters outside Parliament.

He asked the government to state when will elections be conducted in Jammu and Kashmir.
