Rajnath Singh spoke to the families of security personnel who lost their lives in the line of duty.

Union Defense Minister Rajnath Singh on Sunday remembered the supreme sacrifice of the Indian Army on the occasion of 23rd Kargil Vijay Diwas and said that Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (PoK) is an integral part of India.

At the same time, he said that "how is it possible that Baba Amarnath is in India and Maa Sharda Shakti is across the Line of Control (LoC)."

Referring to Sharda Peeth, Rajnath Singh said, "A resolution has been passed in Parliament on PoK. Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, Kashmir was a part of India, is and will remain part of India. How can it be that Baba Amarnath We are with us in the form of Shiva and Maa Maa Sharda Shakti is on the other side of the LoC."

Sharda Peeth is the temple of Hindu Goddess Saraswati, also known as Sharda. 

PoK is part of India, we believe it.

A unanimous resolution has also been passed in this regard in the Parliament.

How can it be that Baba Amarnath is the form of Shiva with us, but Shakti Swarupa Sharda ji's dham stays across the LoC… pic.twitter.com/4ha4qJMBeD

He was speaking at a function organized on the occasion of 'Kargil Vijay Diwas' in Jammu. 

Singh said that today's India is one of the most powerful countries in the world as compared to 1962, when China occupied our territory in Ladakh. 

Rajnath Singh said, "China occupied our territory in 1962. Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru was our Prime Minister at that time. I will not question his intentions. The intentions may be good, but it does not apply to policies. Today's India is one of the most powerful countries in the world.
