India asks Pakistan to immediately return IAF pilot, ensure his safety

印度要求巴基斯坦立即送回印度空军飞行员，确保印度飞行员安全

NEW DELHI: India on Wednesday summoned the acting high commissioner of Pakistan and demanded immediate and safe return of an IAF pilot who was detained by Pakistan following an aerial engagement by air forces of the two countries.

It has also been made clear to Pakistan that no harm should be caused to the Indian defence personnel, the external affairs ministry said, adding it has conveyed strong objection to the neighbouring country at the "vulgar display" of an injured personnel in violation of all norms of International Humanitarian Law and the Geneva Convention.

Pakistan detained Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman following a fierce engagement between air forces of the two sides along the Line of Control in which a Pakistani jet was downed. IAF also lost a MiG 21 jet in the engagement.

新德里：印度周三召见巴基斯坦代理高级专员，要求巴方立即安全地将一名印度空军飞行员送回印度，这名飞行员在两国空军交战后被巴基斯坦扣留。

印方也明确表示，巴基斯坦不能对印度国防军人进行人身伤害，外交部长还补充道巴基斯坦曝光受伤军人的粗鲁行为违反了国际人道主义法律规范和日内瓦公约，印度对此表示强烈反对。

巴基斯坦拘留了空军中校瓦塔曼。此前，巴以两国空军在控制线附近发生激烈交火，一架巴基斯坦飞机被击落。印度空军在交战中还损失了一架米格21战机。

"It was made clear that Pakistan would be well advised to ensure that no harm comes to the Indian defence personnel in its custody. India also expects his immediate and safe return," the MEA said.

The Pakistani acting high commissioner was summoned this afternoon by the MEA to lodge a strong protest at the unprovoked act of aggression by Pakistan against India, including by violation of the Indian air space and targeting of Indian military posts.

外交部称：“我们明确向巴方表示，巴方必须确保其拘留的印度国防人员的人身安全。印度也希望他能立即安全返回。”

今天下午，外交部召见巴基斯坦代理高级专员，对巴基斯坦对印度的无端侵略行为，包括侵犯印度领空、攻击印度军事哨所，提出了强烈抗议。

The response by Pakistani air force came a day after IAF smashed a terrorist training camp of JeM terror camp in Balakot in Pakistan.

"This is in contrast to the India's non-military anti-terror pre-emptive strike at a JeM terrorist camp in Balakot on February 26. It is unfortunate that instead of fulfilling its international obligation and bilateral commitment to take credible action against terrorist entities and individuals operating from its soil, Pakistan has acted with aggression against India," the MEA said.

巴基斯坦空军在国际空军摧毁巴基斯坦巴拉科特的杰姆恐怖营的恐怖训练营一天后做出了回应。

外交部称：“这与印度在2月26日对位于巴拉科特的“ysl国”恐怖组织营地发动的非军事反恐先发制人的打击形成了鲜明对比。不幸的是，巴基斯坦没有履行其国际义务和双边承诺，对其领土上活动的恐怖主义团体和个人采取可信的行动，反而对印度采取了侵略行动。”

"It was clearly conveyed that India reserves the right to take firm and decisive action to protect its national security, sovereignty and territorial integrity against any act of aggression or cross-border terrorism," said the MEA.

印度外交部表示:“印方明确表示，印度保留采取坚定和果断行动的权利，以保证我们国家安全、主权和领土的完整不会受到任何侵略行为或跨境恐怖主义的损害。”

The obsolete MiG 21 crash today is a result of the fact that no modern aircraft was purchased by India for the last 30 years. The government's of those years are responsible for the capture of our pilot by Pakistan.

过时的米格21坠机事件就是印度在过去30年没有购买任何现代飞机的结果。那些年的政府要对我们的飞行员被巴基斯坦俘虏负起责任。

A country comprises of few Brave men n a Lot of Cowards ... what turns worrisome is when the cowards start to break the morale of the brave.

We had two options, either remain meek and suffer pak proxy terrorism for years to come,

or

be strong and decisive. This Govt has called off the bluffs ... We smashed their terror bunkers a day back , PLUS around 20 i5lami5t5 have been sent to meet their h00ries since Pulwama ..

... and .... in a war, the opposition starts blaming the govt when one IAF pilot is captured.

Here, a 1960''s MIG took down a Fourth Gen F-16

一个国家是由少数勇者和许多懦夫组成的。而当懦夫开始打击勇者的士气时，真是令人担忧。

我们有两种选择，要么继续温顺下去，在未来几年继续忍受巴基斯坦的代理恐怖主义，

或者

坚强果断。这个政府悬崖勒马了。一天前，我们捣毁了他们的恐怖掩体，自普尔瓦马以来，还抓捕了大概20名ysl份子。

而在战争期间，当一名印度空军飞行员被捕时，反对派就开始大肆指责政府。

注意，1960年的米格战机击落了第四代F-16战机

Who in the government allowed IAF to send MiG21 flying coffin in such a critical situation, when state-of-the-art aircraft should have been sent to fight Pak airforce. I can''t believe who made this decision and at what level. Can''t they understand war dynamics. Superior weapons with superior pilot skills always wins. A piece of junk can''t win you a war.

这是什么政府，居然允许印度空军在如此危急的情况下派出MiG21飞行棺材上战场，当时应该派遣最先进的飞机来与巴基斯坦空军作战的。我真不敢相信，究竟是谁做出了这个决定。难道他们不了解战场上的局势吗?飞行员的高超技能加上高级武器肯定能够获胜。垃圾武器是打不赢战争的。

But armed forces should act intelligently

We know our forces are strong but should not lose hosh in josh..

Anyways, get the pilot back and send clear message to Pakistan if terrorism no stopped . more such strikes be continued in future.

莫迪有坚强的意志和力量。

但是军队应该明智地行动。

我们知道我们的实力很强大，但不应该如此轻敌导致战败。

不管怎样，如果恐怖主义没有结束，我们必须救回飞行员，向巴基斯坦发出明确的信息。今后这样的进攻还会更多。

印度必胜。

Disappointed with the response of our airforce and more so this pilot. The only rule in a team game is that one can sacrifice themselves but not make their entire team vulnerable. By landing in an enemy territory and getting captured this pilot has weakened the position of the country and the people of India and Modi. All the gains got in the last few days have been squandered away. wonder if India is prepared at all to tackle pak?

对我们空军的反应感到失望，对这位飞行员更是如此。团体活动的唯一规则是，一个人可以牺牲自己，但不能拉整个团队的后腿。由于降落在敌方领土并被抓获，这名飞行员削弱了印度国家、印度人民以及莫迪的地位。过去几天的所有收获都被浪费掉了。想知道印度是否准备好对付巴基斯坦了?
