Good gesture by PM Imran Khan.

Excellent speech overall.

Talked again about peace talks and appreciated Pakistani media’s maturity.
 
Brave decision for peace and a very powerful speech in National Assembly mentioning don't see our will for peace as weakness.
 
Any video of the Speech [MENTION=133397]WebGuru[/MENTION]?
 
Watching some of these Indian News channel makes me puke! Imran just announced pilot will be released as a peace gesture and news channels are saying 'Pak Caves' 'Pak Succumbs' 'Pak Forced'
 
Thank you Imran Khan, now please let our 2 countries never get into a tussle like this ever again... Lets stop all this madness and work hard for peace....

It will be available on youtube in a few minutes when somebody upload. He just finished his speech a few minutes ago so it will take time to upload.
 
Imran Khan has won this engagement through and through.

Modi has tried to pull off a Kargil type stunt and ended up with tomatoes (pun intended) on his face.
 
This is sad to see Indian media still saying cheering for war and seeing it as a weakness.
 
We should release him but not sure if Modi will give anything in return.
 
Releasing him so soon will be branded as a sign of weakness by many troublemakers and warmongers. That's certainly how the Indian media would portray it.

Disgusted with the Indian media.

NDTV is starting to change its tune after yesterday’s slap but the rest of them still want a war.

It’s a brave move by Imran but I hope it leads to deescalation because Modi may change his colours once they get the pilot back.
 
And it's good that he is being let off 'tomorrow' and not today - disallows India from doing something stupid overnight.

Hope Twitter doesn't go about predicting WW3 imminent tonight, but I'm not too hopeful.

We keep him for a while, it’s a card Pakistan have in their pocket.

Would India have done the same so quickly ?

However if it brings peace and Imran Khan who I trust must know more than us then It was Most likely the right decision.

Indian media and Indians claiming this as a victory of Modi under whose pressure Pakistan has been forced to release the Indian Pilot.

Bet this will be hailed as another feat of strong statesmanship by Modi and Pakistan succumbing to pressure.
 
Weak decision. No way would India have returned our pilot like this. Being too nice. Letting a trump card go without anything in return is crazy.

There are no guarantees. This is pure naivety by IK.
 
Excellent decision, but unfortunately, the loudmouths armchair patriots on the other side are accusing Pakistan of caving under pressure and how the “he is not a bargaining chip” narrative has worked.

Nevertheless, the right decision has been made. The keyboard warriors on PP who wanted him to be tortured can go for a hike now.

Haha, a lot of folks are thinking this now.
 
And this India Today is a top indian news site? Look at the words in their handline "Massive victory for India, IAF pilot to return to the country tomorrow."
 
This is so unreal, I can't believe I am listning to a pakistani PM. So calm, so controlled and what Power in his Speech. Ma sha Allah. Ya Allah tera shukr hai, tera shukr hai.

Un besharmo kou yeh yaad nahi, woh Pakistan kar kya rah hai in first Place.
 
You have to do what is right. People like Arnab and Gambhir etc. will bark anyway.

Even if Pakistan wipes our terrorist hideouts (which they should), they will not soften their anti-Pakistan stance.

No confusion. Almost everyone in Pakistan ranging from the govt., to the opposition, the liberals, critics of IK and plenty across the border are appreciating this.

Clearly those who aren't are in a small minority.

Not really. Check our defence forum. And military Twitter guys. Saudis maybe asked us to do this. Otherwise no reason to do it so quick.

I agree that it's the right thing to do but could have been done in a better way. They could have negotiated that we will release him if you release a statement "appreciating Pakistan's goodwill and effort for deescalation". Or something like that.
 
Don't think 1 POW is going to shape India's strategy in this engagement , lol @ anyone who thinks this is a sign of weakness or giving up on a 'win'. Imran Khan is playing his cards perfectly while the Indian camp is mostly confused on what to do next by the looks of it so far

Bro, that is pure Entertainment. Deep inside he is probably a good man, but he spouts so much rubbish that you wonder how he even became a journalist.

This sad loser Arnab grovels at the feet of his millionaire master Rajeev Chandrasekhar who is a millionaire BJP MP who went from tech wiz to dangerously silent kingmaker.

Yeah Pak caved in to the pressure of Modiji launching some useless app yesterday while the rest of the country were worried about their pilot.

Pakistan has the 2nd Pilot with them. Dont go by official statements. Locals have made it clear they saw 2 parachutes falling from sky. And even DG ISPR mentioned that they took the second pilot to hospital. Later they changed the statement.

Google 'Arnab Goswami' and find a stream of his nightly comedy show if you can.

From my understanding, Pakistan is putting extreme pressure on India to call truce and Modi is now in a very difficult position.

If he accepts Pakistan’s goodwill gesture, he will face hostility from the Hindutva nutters. For two fighter jets and one one hostage, India will have nothing but a few trees and a dead crow to show for.

If he attempts to take revenge for yesterday, he will face a lot of criticism for his lust for war and bloodshed, and the opposition will accuse him for not learning from his mistakes.

He is in a very difficult position right now. He can neither swallow nor spit.

One pilot being held was not going to change the Ind strategy- but the Inds have been put on the back foot by calmness and excellence of PK leadership and this gesture is part of that.

According to some shady rumor that I heard a while back, the other pilot succumbed to his injuries which is why changed our official statement. Revealing the news of his death at this point could potentially escalate the tensions.

A MiG-21 is a single seater. The only 2-seater versions are trainers.

There were two jets and Pakistan initially claimed that they have two pilots in custody. Either that was a lie or the second pilot has passed way.

I don’t see any other reason why they would change their official statement.

36 - 48 hours on, we would know about it if further planes and pilots were lost.

Since there is not a peep, we have to assume that the media has been cooking up stories on both sides.

The Indian Version is that the other pilot was a Pakistan F-16 pilot and Pakistan confused him With a second Indian pilot. And now the same channel is reporting they fond parts of pakistani F-16 lol. What a comedy really.
 
IK should have embarrassed India a bit more.... But releasing the pilot is a good gesture.



Now they know their aukaat.
