'Sena reiterating Army Chief's statement'

Speaking over a range of issues such as PoK, Abrogation of Article 370 and 'Tukde-Tukde Gang' in JNU, Shiv Sena via Saamana editorial has said that PoK can be taken over if Indian government allows Army to take action. Speaking over issue of PoK. Sena said, "New Army Chief General Maj Naravane has stated in unambiguous terms in New Delhi that Pakistan Occupied Kashmir belongs to us, we will take over PoK if central government orders. General didn’t say anything wrong that Pakistan has largest number of terrorist training camps in an unauthorized Kashmir and se terrorists have a free run with support of Pakistani Army and ISI. Surgical strike which was done by us in intervening period was in same terror infested region, but we can see even after Surgical strike, ir hardships have t reduced and even today blood of our soldiers is being shed, which is why PoK should be freed from clutches of Pakistan".
