Oh God what an irresponsible media we have. Our brave heart Wing Cdr Abhinandan is in the captivity of Pakistan. Pak PM imran Khan declared in their parliament that as a good will gesture this officer would be released a day after. Immediately after his announcement our Channels started screaming that Pak has succumbed to Indian pressure. True that Pakistan is under international pressure. But so are we. Some Channels started saying that what is the big deal. Pakistan is bound to release him as per Geneva convention.
Geneva convention !. Has Pakistan ever accepted the Geneva convention. History bears testimony to it. What happened to captain Kalia. What happened to captain batra. How many POWs are still languishing in Pakistani jails. Can’t we remain silent till our brave heart returns home safely. What if Pakistan backs out from its promise. Even wife and family of Wing cdr has appealed to media for observing restraint.
Let our Foreign ministry handle this issue. Let our armed forces decide whether to de escalate tension or maintain readiness. But this jingoism must stop till our brave officer safely returns home
