Islamabad: Addressing a joint session of parliament, Pakistan PM Imran Khan announced that Indian pilot Abhinandan would be released tomorrow.

“We realised that it was not good because of the upcoming elections,” he said.
He said that Pakistan stands for peace and as a peace gesture will release Indian pilot who was captured yesterday, will be released tomarrow.
He sad that Pakistan acted with restraint following the Balakot incident because it wanted to be absolutely sure it did not cause any damage beyond what had been inflicted on itself.
