Balakot strikes
Even as Pakistan continues to rely on propaganda in an attempt to whitewash its image, India on Saturday went ahead to conduct a long-range strike mission at Pokharan to mark the second anniversary of Balakot mission. The strike came in the aftermath of Pakistan releasing a doctored video of Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman, who was captured by the Pakistani Army while defending India’s integrity and territory.
In the heavily doctored video released by Pakistan, Wing Commander Abhinandan is seen praising the Pakistani Army and calling for peace among the two nations. He can be heard saying that he finds the Pakistani army a very fine professional force and very chivalrous. He adds that he sees no reason for us (India) to continue with hostility as he thinks India and Pakistan need peace, insinuating that Pakistan is trying to establish peaceful relations with India.
