India's delimitation bill retains PoK seats

India's new delimitation bill for Jammu and Kashmir retains provisions asserting its claim over Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK). The legislation keeps 24 seats in the J&K Legislative Assembly reserved for PoK, which will remain vacant as elections cannot be held in the region. This move reinforces India's official position that PoK is an integral part of its territory. The bill's passage comes amid a broader parliamentary overhaul by the Indian government.
