Pakistan Air Force Avenge Indian Air Strikes in Balakot

Pakistan Air Force on Wednesday gave Indian media and celebrities the kind of shut-up call they deserved. Hope they'll show some restraint while tweeting in future.

• “2 Indian aircrafts violating Pakistani airspace shot down”


• “2 pilots have been arrested”


• said the DGISPR during a presser on Wednesday morning


• On Tuesday morning, Indian jets had breached Pakistani airspace


• and claimed that 350 terrorists had been killed in an attack


• on a Jaish-e-Mohammad training camp in Balakot, KP


• DGISPR debunked the Indian claim of striking a JeM training camp,


• with a 1,000 kg bomb that killed 350 terrorists,


• and spending 21 minutes in Pakistani airspace


• But India’s jingoistic media and politicians started celebrating this act of violence

• But Wednesday morning, the Indian side had to go mum


• when Pakistan released footage of an Indian pilot Abhinandhan,


• handcuffed and in Pakistani custody


• There’s no point going to war


• ‘Democracies don’t fight each other’


• But India must remember that if it takes the course of war,


• Pakistan has every right to retaliate and defend its sovereignty
