Amit Shah's 'PoK in India' promise leaves Pakistan shuddering, Imran Khan's minister talks 'blood, war'

Home Minister Amit Shah's assurance that PoK (Pakistan-occupied Kashmir) is a part of India has seemingly spooked Pakistan. Imran Khan's minister Fawad Chaudhry on Tuesday took to Twitter and wrote that "Modi government is trying to make Kashmir ar Palestine by changing population demography and bringing settlers into Kashmir". 

Pakistani Minister of Information and Broadcasting went on to ask his country's Parliamentarians to stop fighting on trivial issues and respond to India "by blood, tears, toil, and sweat", adding that "y must be ready to fight if war is imposed".

Amit Shah's word to Pakistan

This development from Imran Khan's government has come after Home Minister gave a stern mess to its neighbouring countries Pakistan and China that PoK (Pakistan-occupied Kashmir) and Aksai Chin areas are integral parts of Jammu and Kashmir. He went on to add that he will sacrifice his life for Jammu and Kashmir. 

"Jammu & Kashmir is an integral part of Union of India. Kashmir ki seema mein PoK bhi aata hai. Jaan de denge iske liye (PoK comes under boundaries of Kashmir. We will die for it)", Amit Shah said.
