Abhinandan admits Indian media’s sensationalism

Says Indian media always exaggerates the events.

Islamabad (Pakistan Point News – 8th June, 2019) Indian pilot Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman has admitted the unprofessionalism of Indian media.

The pilot, who was arrested by Pakistan Army following the February 27 airstrike, said that Indian media always exaggerates the events.

He said that the news is sensationalised to appeal the public.

He further said that Indian media is known for its lies.

Wing Commander Abhinandan was arrested by Pakistani forces on February 27 when his aircraft was shot down by Pakistan Air Force after violation of Pakistan air-space.

Pakistan released Indian fighter pilot Wing Commander Abhinandan and handed him over to Indian authorities at Wagah Border on March 1.

His release was announced by Prime Minister Imran Khan as a peace gesture during a speech in Joint Session of the Parliament.

After he returned to India, he was seen as a hero as Indian government claimed to have shot down Pakistan’s F-16 in the February 27 strike by Abhinandan which was later rejected by several leading publications.
