Indore: Hailing India’s efforts in bringing back Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman from Pakistan, Lok Sabha Speaker Sumitra Mahajan on Friday said the brave soldiers of India made the neighbouring country bow under pressure. “It is for the first time in the history of our country that an Indian soldier is returning from Pakistan in such a way. We can understand that our brave soldiers made Pakistan bow and act under pressure,” she said.
“Our diplomacy, strategy, politics and public policies worked together. Besides that, the people of the country also stood united,” she added. Responding to a question on Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan’s role in Varthaman’s release, Mahajan said, “I do not want to immediately make a comment. But as a former cricketer, he really possesses sportsman’s spirit and I wish he carries out his political duties in same spirit.”
