In next dialogue with Pakistan, India should reclaim PoK: Abhishek Banerjee

Jakarta, May 30 (UNI) West Bengal's ruling Trinamool Congress MP Abshishek Banerjee, representing India's all party Parliamentary outreach mission in Indonesia, on Friday demanded New Delhi in the next dialogue with Pakistan should restrict itself only to reclaiming PoK and called upon the Indian diaspora to visit Kashmir the next time they return home.
"In the next dialogue with Pakistan, our approach should be to talk about reclaiming PoK.,*: Banerjee said in Jakarta.
Banerjee urged the Indian diaspora to spend three additional days in Kashmir with their families during their next visit to India.
Addressing the business and community leaders from the Indian diaspora.Banerjee said it was always good to see so many Indians on foreign soil and added It also reminds him of India’s might and vigour.
"It is a testament to the fact that in this war, India is not alone — it has its diaspora by its side,' Banerjee said, pointing to the assembled people. He opined that India's diaspora carries India's pluralism, the idea of "Unity in Diversity, and its strength in adversity.
Banerjee said cross-border terrorism has become a global imperative, and al should raise their voices against it — " whether you are a student or a professional in any distinguished field,"
"You must expose our neighbour, Pakistan, which has been nurturing, harbouring, and shielding terrorists to hatch and execute terror plots against us. There is ample proof available for the world to see," the Diamond Harbour Lok Sabha member said.
The Indian all party delegation visited various countries and whoever they met agreed to "stand with India in its fight against terrorism, and we must all do our part by raising this issue within our respective circles. We need to expose Pakistan," Banerjee said.
"What more does India need to offer the world, when the evidence is out in the open? Everyone could clearly see top officials of Pakistan Army attending the funerals of the terrorists," he told the Indian diaspora.
*Look at the composition of our delegation. I might have differences with the ruling party, but I will not let my political interests override my national interest. I will keep working for what is in the best interest of my nation.* The TMC general secretary said.
*Pakistan is trying to play the victim, acting as both the arsonist and the firefighter at the same time.* he iterated.
He said India would not depend on others, and it was the responsibility of every Indian to expose Pakistan before the world." We've seen that almost all major terror links trace back to Pakistan — whether it was 9/11 or 26/11. The likes of Hafiz Saeed, Osama bin Laden, and terror camps like Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), among others — all have ties to Pakistan.
"Pakistan tries to show the world that it is engaging in peace talks while simultaneously pulling the trigger with the other hand. Terror and talks cannot go together," Banerjee said.
He said India has been engaging in talks with Pakistan for the last 50 years. "We come from the land of Rabindranath Tagore and Gautam Buddha. We will be the last ones to talk about war. But this time, when our government engages in dialogue with Pakistan, I want the government — and I request all Indians — to agree with me that *our approach should be that we talk about reclaiming PoK, where terror attacks were planned and terror infrastructure operated to inflict bloodshed and harm on Indians.*
*Next time you visit India, my humble appeal to all of you is this: extend your trip by three more days. In those additional three days, make sure you and your family dedicate that time to visiting Kashmir, for the betterment of Kashmir tourism and the Indian economy.* Banerjee concluded. UNI PC SSP
