BS Yeddyurappa.
Former Karnataka chief minister and state BJP president, BS Yeddyurappa, on Friday, said that the return of the Indian Air Force pilot, Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman, from Pakistan was because the prime minister, Narendra Modi, warned the neighbouring country of dire consequences.
He said, “The pilot was released because the prime minister issued a warning to Pakistan of dire consequences if he was not released, and they promptly agreed to release him.” Yeddyurappa said this while addressing a Bharatiya Janata Party workers meeting, in Bengaluru. This meeting was held to prepare party workers from seven Lok Sabha constituencies in and around Bengaluru for the Lok Sabha elections.
Yeddyurappa further said, “Today our proud pilot Abhinandan will be returning to India. His bravery must be praised. After his parachute landed in Pakistan, he swallowed documents that were in his possession to prevent them from falling into the hands of Pakistan soldiers. These are signs of a patriotic Indian and pilot. He has shown how a patriot should behave to the whole world.”
Earlier, Yeddurappa kicked a row when he said because of Indian air strikes on terror camps inside Pakistan, the BJP will win 22 out of 28 Lok Sabha seats in Karnataka.
