Javadekar Reminds Of 1994 Resolution On PoK; Will There Be Merger?

Stating that curfews and restrictions have been lifted from many places in Jammu and Kashmir since abrogation of the special status, Union minister Prakash Javadekar on Monday said the festival of Eid al-Adha was celebrated with "great enthusiasm" in the border state. "In the year 1994, our Parliament had passed a resolution that efforts will be made to merge PoK with India," he added. Javadekar said the Congress was a "divided house" on the issue of Article 370 in view of some prominent party leaders supporting the Centre's move to scrap J&K's special status.
