Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy’s commentary that Rahul Gandhi would have taken again Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) if he had been the Prime Minister has sparked a political row. Responding to this remark, Union Minister Jitendra Singh termed it “hilarious” and blamed former Prime Minister Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru for the department of Jammu and Kashmir.

Speaking to ANI, Singh mentioned, “It is hilarious if any Congress leader says that if Rahul Gandhi was the PM of India, the PoK would have been India’s part. But the fact is that had Rahul Gandhi’s great maternal grandfather, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, not been the PM of India, the PoJK would not be what it is today. It is the result of his actions that first, the nation was divided, then Jammu and Kashmir was divided.”

Revanth Reddy’s ‘PoK’ Remark 

Earlier, the Telangana CM at an tournament puzzled why PM Modi had known as a ceasefire to the army operations in opposition to Pakistan with out consulting political events, even supposing an All-Party assembly was once held prior to army moves started. 

He additionally mentioned that had Rahul Gandhi been the Prime Minister, India would have taken PoK (Pakistan Occupied Kashmir) again.

While taking part in Congress ‘Jai Hind Yatra’ in Nizampet, Hyderabad, on Thursday, Reddy mentioned, “Why was no All-Party meeting called to seek the opinions of all the parties before declaring a ceasefire?”

ANI quoted him as announcing, “If a leader like Rahul Gandhi would have been Prime Minister of this country, then he would have taken (former PM) Indira Gandhi as inspiration and would have walked in Kaali’s (Maata) way and would have made Pakistan into two parts and would have taken PoK back.” 

Speaking about India’s rift with China and Pakistan, Reddy mentioned, “Indira Gandhi’s grandson Rahul Gandhi should become the PM of this country. Only if he becomes PM, he’ll defeat Pakistan on one side and China on the other side and uphold our self-respect.”

BJP’s Reaction 

After Telangana CM made the remark, BJP MLA Dr. Ashishrao Deshmukh requested why the grand outdated birthday party didn’t attempt to convey PoK again to India when it was once in energy on the Centre.

“This is a ridiculous statement. Can someone who cannot handle his own party bring PoK back to India? When Congress ruled the country, why did it not try to bring PoK back to India? Today, PM Modi is running the country and has become a symbol of nationalism… Revanth Reddy is trying to bring ‘Rahulvaad’. This is the same Rahul Gandhi whose every statement is applauded in Pakistan… Rahul Gandhi is working to deny the glory of ‘Operation Sindoor’,” he mentioned. 

Similarly, Union Minister and Telangana BJP President G Kishan Reddy mentioned that Congress has no proper to talk on PoK. 

“Whose government handed over PoK to Pakistan?… After the removal of Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir under the leadership of PM Narendra Modi, the ISI network was removed from the state. Terror activities used to happen in each Indian state earlier, and we used to only light candles, accepting our fate. Now, we light Brahmos and strike Pakistan… Congress has no right to speak on PoK, because it is responsible for the very issue and terrorism,” the Telangana BJP Chief mentioned. 

Congress Doubles Down

While the BJP criticised Reddy’s remark, Congress MP Pramod Tiwari mentioned that once Rahul Gandhi involves energy, that day PoK will probably be part of India.

Speaking to ANI, Pramod Tiwari mentioned, “The day Rahul Gandhi has power in his hands and will have the right to take decisions for India, that day, Pakistan-occupied Kashmir will be a part of India. This is my belief because he is a very determined person.”

India-Pakistan Tensions 

After the barbaric terror assault in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam, which claimed 26 lives, the Indian Armed Forces introduced Operation Sindoor on May 7, hitting terrorist infrastructure websites in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK). 

Following this, Pakistan introduced drone and missile assaults on India. After days of war between the 2 international locations, a ceasefire settlement was once reached on May 10.
