Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman, the captured Indian Air Force pilot who was released from Pakistan’s custody after spending 60 hours as a “gesture of peace”, has been admired for his presence of mind and fortitude in enemy captivity.
Pakistan PM announced that as a peace gesture, Abhinandan would be released over the Wagah Border and On Friday, in the evening, he was handed over to Indian officials.
When Varthaman was captured, Pakistani militia and government released footages of the pilot drinking tea while coolly answering questions by Pakistani authorities.
In videos circulated by Pakistani accounts, the pilot is blindfolded and wounded. He gives his name, service number and religion and says: “That is all I am supposed to tell you.”
The video went viral on the internet with people from both India and Pakistan lauding the pilot for his bravery.
Abhinandan dialogue is now being used as a viral meme. Check out some hilarious memes and jokes that netizens have come up with.
