Refrain from commenting on PoK

Politics is not a cup of tea for the excellent actor Rishi Kapoor. It would have been better if he had not strayed into the political domain with his unnecessary observations on PoK, endorsing what Farooq Abdullah has said. As the name itself suggests, PoK is a part of Kashmir forcibly occupied by our neighbour. It must have been liberated before handing over 90,000 PoWs of Bangladesh war in 1971. It is a different matter if he wants to visit his ancestral house in Peshawar.
