India asserted he wasn't a bargaining chip & his return was non negotiable. The world agreed. Pak releasing him "as a peace gesture." So be it, let them save face. India has successfully called Pak's nuclear bluff & redefined red line for terror response???? — Baijayant Jay Panda (@PandaJay) February 28, 2019
First of all it is not a peace gesture from Pakistan it's because of the Geneva convention that they had to release him safely. BTW thanks PAK for releasing him safe! Proud of you Indian govt and forces for mounting pressure on Pakistan.#WelcomeBackAbhinandan #AbhinandanMyHero

The surprise announcement during a joint session of Parliament came barely an hour after Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi said that Prime Minister Khan is ready to talk to his Indian counterpart Narendra Modi to de-escalate Indo-Pak tensions. As the opposition leader Shehbaz Sharif took the floor of the House, Prime Minister Khan apologised for interrupting and said he wishes to announce that the Indian pilot captured by Pakistan Air Force on Wednesday will be released Friday as a "peace gesture". The announcement was greeted by thumping of desks by Pakistani lawmakers.Every noble act makes a way for itself... your goodwill gesture is ‘a cup of joy’ for a billion people, a nation rejoices... I am overjoyed for his parents and loved ones: Navjot Sidhu to Imran Khan
