China playing mind games with India on PoK: Lt-Gen Hasnain 
Rajesh Bhat

Jammu, March 29
Lt-Gen Syed Ata Hasnain, GOC, 15 Corps, Kashmir, has asserted that China is playing mind games with India with regard to occupied Kashmir (PoK). "The interest shown by China in the PoK is nothing but mind games and such an exercise is a part of political, military and diplomatic posturing," Lt-Gen Hasnain said on the concluding day of a two-day national seminar on "PoK, its Internal Dynamics and Externalities" organised by the Department of Strategic and Regional Studies (DSRS) of the University of Jammu.

Lt-Gen Hasnain, however, opined that India could live with such kind of a situation. "All we need to do is to develop our infrastructure and enhance the defence Budget," he said.

Lt-Gen Hasnain ruled out any war with Pakistan or China saying, "Chinese will only posture a little bit, make a few bases along the LoC". He, however, apprehended that China was working on a long-term strategy. "The Chinese interest lie in ensuring that their energy corridor is built on land and sea. The emergence of the US and Indian navies in the Indian Ocean could be one of the reasons for China to accord strategic importance to the PoK," Lt-Gen Hasnain said.

He said the unexploited mineral potential lay in Afghanistan and its periphery and "China thinks that the PoK is in the middle of this belt".

The 15 Corps Commander said, "We need to look at the PoK from the angle of future integration. The 1994 resolution of the Parliament is very clear that our ultimate aim remains in the integration of the whole of Jammu and Kashmir".

Commenting on the present situation in Kashmir, Lt-Gen Hasnain said the infrastructure for infiltration and launching pads in the PoK remained intact. "With the rapid melting of snow this year, we have to, as usual, remain on guard, as nothing has changed in all these 22 years of insurgency," he added.
