#BringAbhinandanBack: Bollywood Celebrities Take To Their Social Media To Wish For The Safe Release Of Wing Commander Abhinandan From Pakistan!

The Indian Air Force conducted a surgical strike yesterday at the terrorist launch pads in Pakistan Occupied Kashmir. Our Foreign Secretary Vijay Gokhale had released an official statement about the attack saying, 'Credible information was received that JeM was attempting other attacks in the country. A pre-emptive strike became important. India struck the biggest camp of JeM in Balakot.' The statement further said, 'India is firmly and resolutely committed to taking all measures to fight the menace of terrorism. This non-military pre-emptive action was targeted specifically at JeM camp. The selection of the target was also conditioned by our desire to avoid civilian casualties.'

The surgical strike was done in retaliation to the horrifying Pulwama terror attacks which had cost the life of more than 40 CRPF personnel. Reportedly, today morning a Pakistani Air Force plane was spotted in Jammu and Kashmir and while striking the F-18 fighter plane, we lost our MiG-21 jet and also a pilot Wing Commander Abhinandan was seen to not have returned. Prime Minister of Pakistan Imran Khan informed in his speech that the pilot is in their country.

Many Bollywood celebs took to their twitter to wish and pray for the safe release of the captured pilot from Pakistan. They expressed their concern for pilot Abhinandan.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi stated on his speech yesterday that, 'Today is a day to pay homage to India's bravehearts. I want to assure you that the country is in safe hands.'
