The country is awaiting for the return of Wing Commander Abhinandan as the Government sources confirmed that he would return through Wagah Border.

A major reception is expected at Indian side and from there he would be taken to the nearest IAF base for debriefing and where his family would join.

It will be weeks before he retunes to his active duty as it mandatory to give complete rest before undertaking  his flying missions.

Abhinandan father, Air Marshal (retired) S Varthaman, said he was proud of his son's bravery and hoped for his safe return home

Pakistan PM Imran Khan expressed desire to de-escalation, and said that 'he wants peace' and 'it should not be taken as a weakness'

After 48 hours of extreme confrontation and heightened tensions, pushing both India and Pakistan on the verge of an all out war, international intervention has finally brought the escalation down.

Both the countries have started reducing their  preparation although both are alert but due to the role of the international community, violation of air space is not expected.

However the biggest achievement  was the stance of India that any terrorists attack would be responded even if the country has to go to war with Pakistan.  This message was delivered to every terrorists that they would be hit wherever they hide.
