Govt will facilitate the return from PoK: Home Minister
Union home minister P. Chidambaram said on Thursday that the government will facilitate the return of those Indians who had crossed over to Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir and want to come back.
The Home Minister said that PoK is actually Indian territory and the government is ready to welcome back the return of those who had gone across the LoC for some reasons.
He said that this was also recommended by the working group set up by the Prime Minister to address the problems of Jammu & Kashmir.
He said that the scheme will involve identification, screening, trend of travel, de-briefing and re-integration.
