"One Day PoK Will Say 'Main Bharat Hoon'": Rajnath Singh

[Hitman]

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Monday expressed confidence in India getting back control of Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) without taking any aggressive steps, as the people in the region itself have been demanding freedom from the current administration.

"PoK will be ours on its own. Demands have started being made in PoK, you must have heard sloganeering," the Minister said during his interaction with the Indian community in Morocco.

Mr Singh added that he had repeated the same five years ago, while addressing an Indian Army program in Jammu and Kashmir.

"I was addressing the Indian Army at a program in Kashmir Valley five years ago, I had then said that we will not need to attack and capture PoK, it is anyway ours; PoK itself will say, 'Main bhi Bharat Hoon'. That day will come," the Defence Minister said.

The minister's remarks come after it was alleged that the Central government had "missed the chance" to capture PoK during Operation Sindoor on May 7. Multiple leaders of various opposition parties criticised the Central government for agreeing to a 'ceasefire' despite India having the upper hand after Operation Sindoor downed multiple Pakistani jets, claiming that there was a chance to capture the Pakistani-occupied territory.

The Defence minister is on a two-day visit to Morocco where he is set to inaugurate the Tata Advanced Systems' new manufacturing facility for the Wheeled Armoured Platform (WhAP) 8x8 at Berrechid, making it the first-ever Indian defence manufacturing plant in Africa.

This is the first-ever visit by a Indian Defence Minister to Morocco.

The minister hailed the new facility in Morocco as an important milestone that reflects the growing global footprint of India's defence industry.

Mr Singh will also hold a bilateral meeting with his Moroccan counterpart Abdeltif Loudiyi.

India and Morocco are expected to sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on Cooperation in the field of Defence during Rajnath Singh's visit. The memorandum will provide an institutional framework to expand and deepen bilateral defence engagement, including exchanges, training, and industrial linkages. Indian Navy ships have been making regular port calls at Casablanca in recent years, and this agreement will further consolidate such ties.

According to @Rajdeep, the Kashmir issue is already closed from India's side.

Same chest beating we saw end of April as well… Pak trying to minds its own business and work on itself, but 4th place economy instead of trying to compete with top 3 is trying to compete with what it calls “failed state”, “rogue state” and yet still getting absolutely clobbered on land, air and sea

 

[KingKhanWC]

@cricketjoshila managed to carve up his hometown state of Bengal into two separate countries. What an achievement.

He's a refugee who moved to India and now wants to create other refugees out of his new host nation, while wanting to join Kashmir together, where he will seek refuge again. I would like to know from him what his and the defence ministers plan to take all of Kashmir?

@cricketjoshila managed to carve up his hometown state of Bengal into two separate countries. What an achievement.

Separation from Muslims was a choice by Hindu bengalis even when the option of a united Bengal was given

Read about thebengali Hindu homeland movement.

Give him time, there is a far right rally in his town today.

Both IOK and West Bengal need to be liberated along with Khalistan, northeast India, and Tamil Nadu.

@cricketjoshila can go and live in North Sentinel Island (also an Indian territory) if that happens.

 

[Patriot]

Is this coming from the Defence Minister as official Indian policy I.e. wanting Pakistani controlled Kashmir or is this just his view? If it’s the latter, my advice would be to not air your personal opinions as it could confuse people. Also, I imagine not all Indians want Pakistani controlled Kashmir.

However, I’m supportive if the people want it and they elect to join India, though I don’t think Pakistan will ever let them vote on it.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Has Saudi Arabia issued a statement yet on this?

lol, they cant handle one Hafiz Saeed, and they plan to take over Pakistan Administrated Kashmir.

It’s mostly is, India won’t actively try to change status quo

Its statistically incorrect.

Pakistan had net migration >2X times compared to India in 2024.

Pakistan Net Migration (1960-2024)

Net migration is the net total of migrants during the period, that is, the total number of immigrants less the annual number of emigrants, including both citizens and noncitizens. Data are five-year estimates.

India Net Migration (1960-2024)

Net migration is the net total of migrants during the period, that is, the total number of immigrants less the annual number of emigrants, including both citizens and noncitizens. Data are five-year estimates.

www.macrotrends.net

And the net migration from Pakistan has been > India for the past 4 years. And these are absolute numbers. Its crazy considering India is 6X times in population vs Pakistan.

I understand facts and numbers are nit your forte but just wanted to educate you.

Lol, so a throw away quip about Indians wanting to live on a different continent requires you to dig up some stats comparing to Pakistan. That quip must have burned you bad.

What to do? Your remark is only funny to you but comes as your typical agenda post against India.

You quoted “Most of them” and it is absolutely and relatively incorrect. Instead of accepting your mistake, it’s my fault that I pointed it out?
Getting the facts correctly may be a new concept for you. Try using it for your next remarks. Lol.

The stats include many Afghan returnees. They have been relocated to Afghanistan en-masse.

Not saying emigration from Pakistan is low, before any Indian gets touchy, but the figures are skewed by these numbers.

What mistake did I make? It was not meant to be taken seriously, but when I said most of them, you could only prove or disprove it by taking a mass survey. That you felt so burned that you needed to dig up stats about Pakistan just shows the truth of what I said regardless.

Historical data analysis is the first step to prove any hypothesis. At least historical data should show that mass migration is happening from India?

Look at the neg migration numbers, its similar to any country like China if we take as a % of population. If its on a relative base, your ethnic country can be comparative right?
Pakistan has net migration levels reaching ~2M / year in 2014-17 for 3/4 years continuously which India also didn't touch.

Mass surveys are highly skewed in general based on sources and not reliable IMO

40% of Pakistanis would want to leave their country. This is a survey from International organization for Migration (IOM)

https://www.dailyexcelsior.com/over-40pc-pakistanis-want-to-leave-the-country-according-to-latest-iom-report/

Didn't find such survey for India.

Retorts like getting burned are so funny when one cannot defend their point. You know what you posted. You intended that “most people” do not want to live in India. But that is incorrect. As a matter of fact, its more suitable to Pakistan based on historical data relatively.

You are defeating your own point here. Firstly you are agreeing with me that mass surveys are highly skewed and not reliable, then you are using surveys to try to prove Pakistanis want to leave Pakistan. Then the cherry on the cake saying you couldn't find any such survey for India. Of course you couldn't, they are generally produced from a skewed perspective in the first place....which you yourself have said here.

And that is the exact reason why I provided historical data on net immigration. Which proves that, India is no outlier that people are leaving in hoards to get out of the country.

But no one said they were an outlier. The point is for all the superpower dreams, the reality is they are still another third world country where millions have fled to other countries in search for a better life. Because life in India is grim.

1. Having super power dreams and being a super power are two vastly different things. India is still a developing nation and I would defend any-day that it is on the right track. Claiming India as a superpower now is being delusional.

2. Economic migration and fleeing are two different things. China’s net migration is on similar levels (10-20% less) to India. So, your claim of millions are fleeing is a hyperbole when you have your own ethnic country Pakistan as an example.

3. Life in India is not grim by any-means. There are many like me who can afford to leave the country but stayed back not only due to national pride, but for the vast opportunities. I agree making money and becoming successful in the West is easier. But India also offers high reward for the risk. I know opinions cannot be changed easily but have to say my 2 cents irrespective of that.

I will give you credit for this, at least you are actually living in India and are prepared to see the opportunities which are abundant in a developing country. I always say this should be the same for Pakistan. Think of America and Australia, the emigrants there built huge nations from nothing.

You don't need to even talk about Pakistan, you could just let your progress do the talking.

 

[Patriot]

There is a BCG study which shows that slightly more than 50% of Indians want to work abroad. I have not read the study so can’t talk about the methodology or how it compares to Pakistanis but that is a big percentage.
