#Abhinandan trends on twitter with hilarious memes in memory of ‘tea is fantasic’
As # Abhinandan trends on twitter, people come up with hilarious memes and videos to mark the day when Pakistan Air Force (PAF) pilots shot down to Indian jets and captured Indian pilot Abhinandan Varthaman.
The captured Indian pilot was treated with a cup of tea which he had termed as ‘fantastic’. He was later handed over back to India as a peace gesture from Pakistan.
Abhinandan had also praised Pakistan Army for treating him with dignity and respect during his capture and captivity.
To celebrate the day, hashtags like #Abhinandan #HappySurpriseDayIndia and #27Feb are trending on Twitter:
On February 27, 2019, the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) carried out Operation Swift Retort and shot down two Indian Air Force (IAF) fighter aircraft and dropped bombs within the compounds of Indian military facilities in occupied Kashmir – as a warning to the country’s belligerent neighbor.
The Pakistani military had lived up to its promise to ‘surprise’ India in wake of any misadventure, saying that ‘uncalled-for aggression’ from the Indian military ‘would not go unpunished’.
The operation also resulted in the capture of an Indian pilot, Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman, after his Mig-21 was shot down. The pilot was later handed over to Indian authorities as ‘a goodwill gesture’.
