Indian Home Minister Amit Shah confirmed Tuesday new regulations on Kashmir will ensure New Delhi takes over the two portions held respectively by Pakistan and China. Shah asserted that India’s ruling Hindu-nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will ensure Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir (PoK) and Aksai Chin are part of India’s Jammu and Kashmir, India Today reported.The BJP will make sure Kashmir, the only Muslim-majority region in India, becomes an integral part of the South Asian country. “Kashmir is an integral part of India; there is no doubt over it. When I talk about Jammu and Kashmir, Pakistan occupied Kashmir and Aksai Chin are included in it,” Shah reportedly proclaimed. Kashmir is India’s only Muslim-majority region.
