New Delhi: Amid the claim by Pakistan MP that the Imran Khan government had abruptly released IAF pilot Abhinandan Varthaman fearing an attack from India, India's ruling party Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) took this opportunity to condemn the Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and its party for their attitude towards the Indian Army, government and the country’s citizens.

Taking a jibe at Rahul Gandhi, Nadda said the congress leader will now see some light. 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...” Nadda tweeted.

“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,” the BJP leader added.

The Indian pilot was released after he landed in Pakistani custody in February last year followed by a dogfight between Indian and Pakistani pilots. In a sensational claim, PML-N leader Ayaz Sadiq during the speech in the National Assembly said that foreign minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi had pointed out that if Pakistan did not release Abhinandan Varthaman, India would attack Pakistan “that night by 9pm.” He told opposition leaders that Qureshi in a meeting with the parliamentary leaders, including PPP and PML-N and Pakistan army chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa, had asked for Abhinandan to be released. “I remember Shah Mahmood Qureshi was in the meeting which Imran Khan had refused to attend and Chief of Army Staff General Bajwa came into the room, his legs were shaking and he was perspiring. Foreign Minister said for God’s sake let Abhinandan go, India’s about to attack Pakistan at 9pm,” Sadiq said while speaking in Urdu. In a dog fight between during a dog fight between Indian and Pakistani air force in 2019, Wing Commander Varthaman had shot down a Pakistani aircraft F-16, which had crossed into the Indian airspace. In the process, Varthaman's plane moved over to the Pakistani side which was shot down. However, Wing Commander Varthaman returned to India on March 1.
