Now we have changed it the entire ground situation changes. So, all I can say with respect to PoK that there is a parliament resolution. Every political party of this country is committed to ensure that PoK which is a part of India, returns to India. I didn’t used to get this question 10 years ago or even 5 years ago. It is when we have put 370 to rest, now people understand and think that PoK is also important. I think in the minds of our own people the PoK issue has come to the fore-front. Once it is in your thought the rest will happen at some point of time.”
