Former High Commissioner to Pakistan, Ajay Bisaria on January 09 revealed some untold secrets of return of then Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman from Pakistan. He said, “After Pulwama, India had taken action in Balakot, and that was followed by Pakistan's operation, which it called swift retort in India and as a result of which, an Indian pilot, Abhinandan, was captured. I've tried to present an account of the coercive diplomacy that took place after that, to get the pilot back. There was a very credible threat of force and use of nine missiles...Pakistan made the choice of returning the pilot, not wanting to escalate that conflict.
