    Capturing Azad Kashmir is not like encroachment of a fence in the neighborhood.
    The matter should be dealt/resolved in a diplomatic way so as to satisfy both the sides with the mediation of UN and Intl. bodies. Going for a war or forcibly taking over Azad Kashmir will lead to a greater war which is disastrous for both the countries. There should be a solution but how & when. ? No answer.
