Indian Air Force Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman was released amid fears that India may launch an attack within hours, Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML N) leader has said. A video has surfaced online that shows the Pakistan Member of Parliament, speaking in their Parliament and saying that Pak sent Abhinandan back because of fear.
Sardar Ayaz Sadiq said that Army chief General Bajwa was perspiring and his “legs were shaking” when their foreign minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi informed that India may attack “that night at 10 pm” if Abhinandan was not released.
Varthaman reached the border after an aerial fight post the Balakot airstrikes last year and had downed an F-16 fighter of Pakistan. He was released on March 1.
BJP chief JP Nadda was clearly happy to see the video and he shared it on his Twitter page. Sharing the video clip, Nadda tweeted: “Congress’ princeling does not believe anything Indian, be it our Army, our Government, our Citizens. So, here is something from his ‘Most Trusted Nation’, Pakistan. Hopefully now he sees some light… Congress Party premised it’s entire campaign around keeping our armed forces weak. They mocked our armed forces, questioned their valour and tried every trick to ensure India doesn’t get latest Rafale Planes. The people India rejected such politics and punished Congress.”
