Addressing the rally attendees, Shah reaffirmed India’s unwavering commitment to reclaiming PoK, dismissing any opposition or deterrents. He criticized Congress leaders for their reluctance to support the demand for reclaiming PoK, emphasizing that the territory is an integral part of India’s sovereign territory and must be reclaimed for the nation’s unity and security.
