"Welcome Home Wing Commander Abhinandan!": Read PM Modi's message welcoming back Wing Commander Abhinandan to India

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has welcomed Wing Commander Abhinandan back to India and told him in no uncertain terms that the nation is proud of the courage he displayed during his two-day captivity in Pakistan, and also most-definitely, each day of his life before that.

Here is the Prime Minister's tweet: 

Wing Commander Abhinandan crossed back into India at the Wagah-Attari border shortly after 9 pm on Friday. He had fallen into Pakistan's clutches after his MIG-21 Bison shot and brought down a Pak F-16 as the Indian Air Force sent a 24-strong Pakistan Air Force jet-fighter formation packing, foiling the belligerent nation's attempt to attack India in retribution for the precision strike India had conducted on Pakistan's terror factories along the LoC on Tuesday morning.  

While announcing the decision to release Wing Commander, Pak PM Imran Khan had attempted to paint a 'good gesture' narrative despite the truth being that he had been left with no option because of the relentless and inexorable pressure screw India had applied on Pakistan across multiple dimensions, demanding the release of its heroic pilot.
