Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman, who was captured by Pakistan after an aerial dogfight led a formation of the MiG-21 Bison as the Indian Air Force (IAF) put up a show on its 87th birthday on Tuesday.

According to the details, three Mirage 2000 aircraft and two Su-30MKI fighter aircraft flew in ‘Avenger formation’.

Responding to IAF’s violation of Pakistani airspace on February 26, PAF had hit back by sending fighters to strike Indian targets the following day.

In the pursuit, a PAF fighter jet had downed at least one Indian MiG-21 aircraft and captured Abhinandan, who had ejected and landed within Pakistani territory.

He was later handed over to India by Pakistani authorities as a goodwill gesture within 60 hours of the standoff.

Dutch Politician Geert Wilders, who is known for his anti-Islam rhetoric, has hailed India’s decision to nullify Article 370 of the Constitution in occupied Kashmir and called Pakistan “a 100% terror state”.

“India is a full Democracy and Pakistan is a 100% terror state [sic],” leader of the far-right Party for Freedom (PVV) tweeted after the Indian government paved way for a Muslim genocide in held Kashmir.

Wilders had earlier made headlines when he had announced his plans to hold a blasphemous caricatures contest as part of his “campaign against Islam”.

His tweet comes after the Indian government on Monday through a presidential decree abolished Article 370 that gave a measure of autonomy to Indian occupied Kashmir (IoK).

Now with the special status of Kashmiris repealed, among other feared outcomes is that people from the rest of India would have the right to acquire property in IoK and settle there permanently, which could lead to ethnic cleansing.

A massive shift in demographics of the Muslim-majority disputed territory can also follow.

Bilawal Bhutto Zardari’s aftari is all everyone can talk about since Sunday evening. It was the first time that most opposition leaders came together for an informal meeting to discuss the future of Pakistan.

However, politics aside, the one joke everyone started cracking was that Maryam Nawaz and BBZ were looking like newly-weds. It is important to note here than Maryam has a son who is a few years younger than Bilawal and is also a grandmother. Hence, such humour is classified as crass.

Journalist Mona Alam went one step forward and questioned where Maryam’s husband Capt. (r) Safdar is.

Mona’s comments were met with a lot of backlash. But she did not back down and defended herself.

In response to Mona’s comment, one user asked why Capt. (r) Safdar should have been present in the first place considering it was a political gathering, to which she replied:

Another Twitter user asked Mona where her husband is, to which she replied:

Soon after, the debate began to heat up even more and personal blows were exchanged such as:

Not that it’s anyone’s business but Captain (r) Safdar was at the iftar party.
