A top Air Force officer on Wednesday said there was no plan “at the moment” to capture Pakistan-administered Kashmir , but expressed the hope that someday India will have the “whole of Kashmir”. Speaking to reporters at an event here to mark the 75th anniversary of the Indian troops’ Budgam landing, Air Officer Commanding in Chief (AOC-in-C) of Western Air Command, Air Marshal Amit Dev, also said the people in PaK are not being treated very fairly by the Pakistanis.

“…All the activities which were carried out by the Indian Air Force and the Army (on October 27, 1947) resulted in ensuring the freedom of this part of Kashmir. I am sure that someday, the Pakistan-administered Kashmir will also join this part of Kashmir and we will have the whole of Kashmir in years to come,” he said.

However, when asked if the force has any plans to capture the PaK, Air Marshal Dev said there was no plan at the moment.

(The whole of) Kashmir is one, a nation is one. People on both sides have common attachments. Today or tomorrow, history is witness, that nations come together. We do not have a plan at the moment, but, God willing, it will always be there because people in Pakistan-administered Kashmir are not being treated very fairly by the Pakistanis, he said.
