*KARACHI: A Pakistani tea seller has used Indian pilot Abhinandan’s pictureon banner of his stall for advertisement with a catchy line.*
“*Aesi chai k dushman ko bhi dost banaye* (Such a tea that makes even anenemy a friend),” reads the punch line.
Abhinandan was captured here after his fighter jet was shot down in AzadJammu and Kashmir upon violation of the Line of Control (LoC).
The Pakistani armed forces treated him well and during a video statementthe pilot was seen taking sips from a teacup. Social media trollers hadmade hell fun of one sentence from his statement “The tea is fantastic”.
The tea seller has used a photo of the pilot from the same video in whichhe is taking tea.
Pakistan had released Abhinandan as a gesture of peace, in order tode-escalate the soaring tensions with New Delhi.
On February 27, the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) after striking down two Indianfighter jets had arrested one pilot, who ejected himself after being hit inthe airspace of Pakistan in Azad Jammu and Kashmir — something that came asan unexpected setback for India.
Hours after shooting down the IAF jets, Pakistan military had released avideo statement of the captured Indian pilot.
