RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat called Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir (PoK) a room in India that has been occupied by strangers, saying it must be taken back. He remarked during an event in Satna, Madhya Pradesh, according to ANI.

“Many Sindhi brothers are sitting here. I am very happy. They did not go to Pakistan; they went to undivided India. Circumstances have sent us here from that home because that home and this home are not different,” Bhagwat said, drawing huge applause from the audience.

“The whole of India is one home, but someone has removed one room of our house where my table, chair, and clothes used to be kept. They have occupied it. Tomorrow, I have to take it back…” he said as the audience clapped in agreement.

The RSS chief’s remarks come amid rising unrest in PoK, where locals have protested against Pakistani rule. Thousands of residents joined rallies organised by the Awami Action Committee (AAC), calling for economic aid and political reforms.

10 people have been killed and more than 100 injured in PoK after Pakistani forces clashed with protesters over the last three days. In Dhirkot (Bagh district) alone, four protesters were shot dead, while fatalities were also reported from PoK’s Muzaffarabad, Dadyal (Mirpur), and Chamyati near Kohala.

According to analysts, Pakistan’s preference for repression over dialogue has heightened tensions in the strategically sensitive region.

The protests against Pakistani rule by PoK residents have exposed the falsehood that Islamabad has been peddling since 1947, experts said. They have also unmasked those who, for decades, mischievously amplified anti-India propaganda regarding the situation in Jammu and Kashmir.

The RSS chief on Thursday emphasised the need to strengthen security capabilities, noting that the international reaction to the Pahalgam terror attack revealed the real character of India’s global alliances.

The responses of other countries were a test of “who our friends are in the global arena and to what extent they are willing to stand by us,” the RSS chief said, adding India’s political leadership and the military delivered a “fitting response” which showcased the firmness of the leadership, valour of the armed forces, and determination and unity of society.

The recent surge of protests in PoK highlights the widening gap between its residents and Islamabad, with critics cautioning about increasing instability. Analysts say Pakistan’s reliance on repression rather than dialogue has further escalated tensions in the strategically sensitive region.
