Former Pakistani Prime Minister Benzair Bhutto’s niece, Benzair Bhutto, took to Twitter praying that the Indian pilot receives the dignity he deserves. So did many other from the neighbouring country. Here is a sample:
Fatima Bhutto@fbhutto – Please note that there are many Pakistani voices calling for the Indian air force pilot in custody to be treated with dignity.
@nazirafzal – My family is of Pakistani heritage My best friends’ ancestors are Indian. My parents lived in both countries. They were one nation, now is the time to remember how much more there is in common than divides us #SayNoToWar
@Tooba_Sd – I as a citizen of Pakistan request my govt to treat the “captive” Indian pilot well and send him back ASAP as a gesture of peace. Come on Pakistan you can do this#SayNoToWar
UsmanHaider – As a Pakistani, I feel bad for what the family of this well-mannered officer must be going through. Boundaries aside we’re all from similar cultures. I hope he gets back to his home safely and is treated well in the meantime. #Abhinandan #SayNoToWar
@TheRealHaroon – Those who celebrate war will not participate in the war, those who participate in the war, will never celebrate war. #SayNoToWar
@PrashantKishor1h – India needs just one campaign #BringBackAbhinandan Everything else can wait! Be sensible to #SayNoToWar
@RajThackeray – One of our pilots is missing in action. My party, Maharashtra Navnirman Sena, joins me in praying and hoping for safe return of our pilot. #IAFpilot #BringBackAbhinandan
@MomentsIndia – As fears rise amid escalating tension between India and Pakistan, people on both sides of the border call for peace. #SayNoToWar
@harsh_mander – Courage is not in warmongering. Courage is in reaching out in peace while fighting terror & hate. Courage is in restraint amid provocation. War won’t benefit people of India or Pakistan. It will only bring suffering to families on both sides of the border #SayNoToWar
@NamitaGokhale One of the greatest life learnings of the ever contemporary Mahabharata is the lesson of the Chakravyuh and the consequences of entering it without full foreknowledge.
