Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi recently said that India would have attacked “that night at 10pm” if Pakistan hadn’t released Wing Commander Abhinandan. This left Army Chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa in a rather perspiring state.
Amid this development, posters featuring Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Sardar Ayaz Sadiq with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Indian Air Force Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman came up in parts of Lahore on Saturday.
The posters dubbed him as a “traitor” and did rounds of social media after a former National Assembly speaker spotted it.
Reacting to Sadiq’s remarks, Foreign Office spokesman Zahid Hafeez Chaudhri told PTI that “There was no pressure on Pakistan at all regarding the release of Wing Commander Abhinandan. The Government of Pakistan took the decision as a gesture of peace, which was appreciated by the international community.”
Post this viral poster, BJP chief JP Nadda targeted Rahul Gandhi and 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.”
