JAMMU, Mar 31: Veteran leader of Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) and former Minister Thakur Randhir Singh today said that Kashmir is already integral part of India and now India has to take back from Pakistan the illegally occupied areas of Jammu as well as Kashmir province.
In a statement issued here, Singh condemned the anti-national statements of Dr Farooq Abdullah and Mehbooba Mufti that if Article 35 A and Article 370 are revoked, Kashmir will go to Pakistan. Singh said Kashmir was, is and remain an integral part of India and now India has to take back from the neighbouring country the illegally occupied areas of Jammu and Kashmir.
The NCP leader also welcomed setting up of Terror Monitoring Group for J&K by the Centre and hoped that this would go a long way in curbing the terror activities and establishing peace in the State.
