We are confident that a strong India and a determined Government will be able to free the POK soon, the VHP leader said.Article 370 is now history, time for PoK to be liberated: VHP leaderRead @ANI Story | https://t.co/VCYjFVwidh#Article370 #POK #VHP pic.twitter.com/yoltOka3V9— ANI Digital (@ani_digital) December 12, 2023Historical agreement comes truly to force Reaffirming Jammu and Kashmirs enduring position as an integral part of India, Kumar said, Todays judgement underlines that the Letter of Accession signed by Maharaja Hari Singh in 1947-48 was final, valid and irrevocable. Due to some political misunderstandings, the then political leadership had given a special status to Jammu and Kashmir through Article 370.Expressing optimism for continued development in the region, Kumar said that he is hopeful that the ongoing development in Jammu and Kashmir will continue uninterrupted.The Supreme Courts unanimous decision on Monday declared Article 370 a temporary provision intended solely to facilitate the merger of Jammu and Kashmir with the rest of India. This landmark ruling effectively rules out any potential for Article 370s restoration.
