evidence: "A resolution has been passed in the Parliament on PoK. Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, Kashmir was a part of India, is and will remain a part of India. How can it be that Baba Amarnath in the form of Shiva is with us and Mother Sharda Shakti is on the other side of LoC," Defense Minister added while referring to the Sharda Peeth, which has the ruins of a temple to Hindu goddess Saraswati, also known as Sharda. [...] As per one of the legends about the temple, goddess Sharda saved the pot of knowledge during a war between good and evil. She carried the pot to the valley and hid it in a deep pit. She then turned herself into a structure to cover the pot. The structure now stands as Sharada Peeth. [...] "It is my demand and I fight that the Sharda Peeth Yatra should be opened because the Sharda Peeth has become a ruin now. We want the PoK permit to be amended. Those whose relatives are not on that side should also be allowed to go because our faith is attached there with this temple," Ravindra Pandita, president of the Committee, said, as per the report.
