“I ask the Prime Minister of Pakistan Imran Khan and the Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi to show true leadership in this difficult time: to sit down, shake hands and settle the current conflict and long-standing issue of Kashmir through dialogue,” the young Nobel Laureate tweeted.
Indo-Pak tension has been on rise ever since the attack on CRPF men’ convoy at Pulwama by Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM). Days after the attack, the Indian Air Force (IAF) crossed the LoC and launched a 1,000 kg bomb on alleged JeM camps in Balakot.
Things escalated further when Pakistani Air Force’s fighter jets entered Indian airspace targetting India’s military installations near LoC. IAF Wing Commander Abhinandhan Varthaman was taken into custody by Pakistani troops after his MiG Bison was shot down by Pakistan’s air defence. (PTK)
