JAMMU, Feb 22: The Department of Strategic and Regional Studies (DSRS), University of Jammu, in collaboration with the Jammu Kashmir Study Centre (JKSC), organized one -day seminar to commemorate “The Parliament Resolution on Jammu and Kashmir”, here today.
Major General (Retd) S K Sharma, who was chief guest on the occasion, suggested three-pronged diplomatic and military options to regain POJK that includes “India’s military attack on POJK and regain its lost territory”, by “developing UT of J&K to a such level so that the people of POJK revolt against Pakistan and reunite with the UT of J&K”, and “assist POJK to become an independent state that can help India’s standing in the UN and other international forums”.
In his presentation, titled “Displaced People: Real Stakeholders of POJK”, Dr Deepak Kapoor, Deputy Director Health Services J&K and Convenor of POJK Visthapith Seva Samiti (POJKVSS), said that under the BJP Government, particularly after the bifurcation of the J&K State into two Union Territories in August 2019, Pakistan is on back-foot and the displaced people of POJK began to get their due and legitimate rights.
In his presentation, titled “Pakistan’s Deceit and Denial and India’s Response”, Pradeep Dutta, Senior Editor, Times Now, drew attention towards “how Pakistan masked the truth on the state and situation of Jammu and Kashmir since 1947 and tactfully buried the reality of POJK”.
While introducing the theme of the seminar, Dr Virender Koundal, Director, DSRS JU, highlighted various nuances associated with the Parliament Resolution on J&K which was unanimously passed by the Parliament of India on February 22, 1994 emphasizing that J&K is and will remain an integral part of India.
It is pertinent to mention here that the JKSC is a think tank dedicated to the research on Jammu, Kashmir, Ladakh, and occupied territories of the state of J&K. The JKSC is also involved in the research of the human rights violations in the POJK and GB. Dr Mohd Monir Alam presented the vote of thanks.
