'PoK should have taken back, Sardar Patel's words were not followed': PM Modi slams Pakistan over terrorism
PTC News Desk: Prime Minister Narendra Modi, while speaking at an event in Gujarat, stated that the terrorists in Kashmir should have been decisively dealt with back in 1947, when the first terror attack occurred following partition. He said the violence India faces today is a mutated version of the same long-standing threat.
PM Modi also noted that Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, India’s first Home Minister, had insisted that military action against Pakistan in 1947 should have included the recovery of Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. However, he said, the Congress government at the time chose to disregard Patel’s counsel.
"In 1947, when Mother India was partitioned into three parts... that very night, the first terror attack occurred on the soil of Kashmir. One part of Mother India was forcibly taken over by Pakistan in the name of 'mujahideen'. On that day, those so-called mujahideen should have been thrown into the pit of death," the PM said.
"And it was Sardar Patel's wish that until PoK is taken back, the army should not stop. But Sardar Sahib’s words were not followed," the Prime Minister added.
He further stressed, "And the bloodshed by these mujahideen has been continuing for the last 75 years. What happened in Pahalgaon was just a distorted form of the same. ...The Indian Army has defeated Pakistan every time. Pakistan understood that it cannot win from India".
