The IAF has lined up several programmes to commemorate its role in the 1965 war with Pakistan.

"The IAF is commemorating 50 years of 1965 Indo-Pak War by organising various events like seminars, photo exhibition and homage to martyrs. The contribution of our air veterans who participated in this war need to be duly acknowledged by appropriately revisiting this historical event," IAF spokesperson Wg Cdr Rochelle D'Silva said.

In this regard, a seminar will be held here tomorrow which will be presided over by IAF Chief Arup Raha. Various veterans will express their views on the role of the Air Force in the war and one of the sessions would be chaired by former IAF chief SP Tyagi.
