'POK would have been part of India had Nehru...': Amit Shah

Union Minister Amit Shah held former Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru responsible for the issue of Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir (POK).

According to the Home Minister, Jammu and Kashmir suffered due to two "blunders"by Nehru - announcing a ceasefire and taking the Kashmir issue to the United Nations.

"If there had been a ceasefire after three days, POK would have been a part of India today... The second is to take our internal issue to the UN," the Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) leader said.

Shah also said "POK is ours", as he said that 24 seats were reserved there.

"The problem of Pakistan Occupied Kashmir occurred because of Pandit Nehru. Otherwise, that part would have belonged to Kashmir. Nehruji was responsible for POK," Shah said.

“Nehru ji said it was his mistake. It was not a mistake. It was a blunder to lose so much land of this country," Shah added.
