Pak Arrests Indian Pilot, Will They Follow Geneva Convention?

The Ministry of External Affairs has confirmed that an Indian pilot Abhinandan is missing in action after a MiG-21 Bison fighter plane was lost while engaging with Pakistani jets after they violated Indian airspace.

Pakistan earlier today claimed that it had shot down two Indian jets and arrested two pilots after striking non-military targets in India. However, later they clarified that, they have captured only one pilot and released a video of his statement.

The Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman was calm and composed while he was speaking to his conquerors, on camera. He gave them only few of his details such as his name, service number, besides identifying himself as a Hindu. When they insisted for more details, he unperturbedly said, "I'm sorry sir. That's all I'm supposed to tell you." He politely asked them, “Am I with the Pakistani Army?”

Entire nation is praying for Abhinandan’s safe return to home. India said that this was “in violation of all norms of International Humanitarian Law and the Geneva Convention”.

What is the Geneva Convention?

According to Geneva Convention, Pakistan has to return Wing Commander in 7 days or else both countries will be officially in War. By beating the IAF pilot, Pakistan has already violated the Geneva Convention.

During Kargil War too Pakistan Captured an Indian Pilot Flight Lieutenant Kambampati Nachiketa who returned after 8 days and now he is still doing his duty for the country.
