In a video being circulated on social media, Abhinandan says, “Captain, I hold the Pak Army on high very regard. And I was just hoping there would be a Pakistan Army officer who would come for my rescue.”

The Indian pilot, while being taken to a safe place by Pakistan Army, says, “Ultimately, I know Pakistan Army is also of solider and that’s why I asked if you are from the regular army.”

Abhinandan has praised the Pakistan Army and their treatment during over 60 hours he spent in their custody.

According to media reports, he praised Pakistan Army during his meeting with Indian defence minister at a hospital in New Delhi.

Abhinandan disclosed that the Pakistan Army personnel did not torture him during the nearly 60 hours he spent in their custody.

On Friday, in a videotaped statement, the Indian Air Force wing commander while giving an account of the events that unfolded after he entered the Pakistani airspace, said "My name is Wing Commander Abhinandan. I am a fighter pilot in Indian Air Force. I was trying to find a target. Pakistan Air Force shot my aircraft down following which I have to leave it as it had broken down. I later ejected and opened parachute."

"Pakistan Army is a very professional service and I see peace in it. I have spent time with the Pakistani Army and I am very impressed by them," apprised Abhinandan.

The Indian Pilot confessed that Indian media's ranting always misleads Indian public opinion about Pakistan and it presents trivial things as huge."Indian media always exaggerate the situation.

The smallest things are overstated, misguiding the people," he asserted.

In a previous video, Abhinandan expressed gratitude to the Pakistan Army for their good conduct and hospitality shown to him.
