Since you asked. This is our version as opposed to peace gesture version by Imran Khan.
IAF’s MiG-2 Bison crashed into across LoC and its pilot Abhinandan was captured by Pakistan forces. On February 28, after a day of anxiety and relentless diplomatic pressure from India, Pakistan decided to release Abhinandan. Today on March 1, Abhinandan has come back to India.
What happened behind the doors on a diplomatic level since the government stated that IAF pilot went missing, is a testimony of India’s rising stature in the world.
India ruled out any negotiation for the IAF pilot, it said it was Pakistan’s responsibility to follow guidelines under Geneva Conventions. However, India categorically stated if Abhinandan was harmed or not released, there would be severe consequences.
In the meantime, all the P-5 nations put pressure on Pakistan to act against terrorism. Pakistan requested UAE to snub India for the OIC conclave. However, UAE chose to turn down Pakistan’s requests. Amidst this, the US, European Union, Saudi Arabia, UAE and other P-5 nations put immense pressure on Islamabad and it left with no option but to release Abhinandan, the report said.
