| Delhi brought Islamabad to its knees | | Abhinandan returning today, India's splendid diplomatic victory | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Feb 28: Thursday (Feb 28) will go down in the diplomatic, military and political history of India is a path-break day and as a day when New Delhi brought the nervous and mortally afraid Pakistan to its knees and dictated all the terms. The case in point is the announcement in the Joint-Session of the Pakistan National Assembly that Pakistan will return to India Wing Commander Abhinandan on Friday.
"My government will release Indian Air Force pilot tomorrow as peace gesture," Imran Khan said while addressing the joint session of Pakistani parliament. The announcement electrified the political scene of India with people across the nation saying "Abhinandan My Hero" and chanting "Bharat Mata Ki Jai" and "Vande Mataram".
Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman is in Pakistan Army's custody since Wednesday morning. He had landed on the other side of the Line of Control after his aircraft fell down during aerial dogfight between India and Pakistan.
Imran Khan also expressed his helplessness when he told the Joint Session that he wanted peace and he tried his level best to contact PM Narendra Modi but the Indian PM didn't respond. "I am ready to have dialogue with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. I tried to speak to Prime Minister Narendra Modi as I want to de-escalate prevailing tension between the two countries", but with no result.
"I appeal to India and Narendra Modi not to escalate the situation further. It would not be in favour of either India or Pakistan given the kind of weapons the two countries have," Khan said. At the same time, he defended violation of Indian airspace by Pakistan Air Force saying the country was forced to "retaliate" following action by India.
Earlier on Wednesday, Pakistan Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi's offered a "deal" to India on the IAF pilot. He said Pakistan was ready to release the pilot if it meant "de-escalation" of the current tension between the two countries.
On Thursday, India rejected the "deal offer" saying it wanted immediate release of the IAF pilot. New Delhi also rejected the proposal for dialogue with Pakistan until it takes "concrete" steps against terror outfits
Indeed, the return to India of Abhinandan on Friday will constitute a glorious chapter in the Indian history. |
