On Tuesday, the Congress party attacked Union Minister VK Singh, claiming that his comments about Kashmir were “blasphemous” and that the area is a fundamental part of India.
VK Singh predicted that PoK would soon join India “on its own” when speaking at a news conference as part of the BJP’s “Parivartan Yatra” in Rajasthan’s Dausa, which is close to going to the polls.
POK merger with India
In response to a question about Shia Muslims in PoK calling for the opening of the border crossing with India, Singh stated that “PoK will merge with India on its own, it’s just a matter of time.”

Supriya Shrinate, a spokeswoman for the Congress, asserted that PoK is a substantial portion of Indian territory and that any suggestion of a “merger” would be blasphemous.
There is no difference between that region and India; it is a part of our motherland. For me, that is a piece of India, and what he is saying is blasphemous. It is a crucial component of the Indian Union. We had it and will continue to have it. He should not have said that since it will be combined. It is a sizable portion of Indian territory, according to Shrinate.
An attempt to draw attention away from China
According to Delhi Minister Saurabh Bharadwaj, VK Singh is attempting to draw attention away from China. It is true that China has occupied a sizable portion of Indian Territory. A report claims that they can no longer access 26 of the 66 sites that the Indian Army used to patrol. General Singh ought to address that first.

JD(U) General Secretary KC Tyagi responded to Singh’s remark by saying, “He claimed this during an election campaign, but I’ll be really happy if his prediction turns out to be true.”
