Siddharthnagar: BJP MP Yogi Adityanath on Saturday termed as "irresponsible and seditious" the statement of former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Farooq Abdullah on PoK, and said the part of Kashmir under Pakistan's control would be taken back.
"The statement given by Abdullah is irresponsible, seditious and amount to contempt of Parliament," the BJP MP told reporters here.
Abdullah had yesterday said "PoK was part of Pakistan" and would remain with it while India would continue to control its part of Jammu and Kashmir and claimed that former PM Atal Bihari Vajpayee had proposed this to the then President Pervez Musharraf.
Adityanath said "every inch of land of Kashmir belonged to India and the part of Kashmir under Pakistan's control would be taken back".
Asked if BJP was contemplating forging an alliance before Assembly polls in Uttar Pradesh, he said a decision in this regard will be taken by the party's central leadership and Parliamentary Board.
The BJP MP said Bihar Assembly poll outcome was the result of "casteist mentality".
