Pakistani actor Jamal Shah said that everyone in Pakistan wanted IAF pilot Abhinandan Varthaman to return home safely and Prime Minister Imran Khan has just delivered what the public wanted him to do.
The
Pulwama
terror
attacks
on
February
14,
2019
killed
44
Indian
soldiers
and
Pakistani
based
terror
outfits
claimed
responsibilty
for
the
cowardly
act.
India
sent
fighter
jets
in
the
wee
hours
of
the
night
and
destroyed
terror
bunkers
hiding
at
the
border
which
was
harboured
by
Pakistan.
Things
reached
a
breaking
point
on
February
27,
when
Pakistani
army
shot
down
Indian
fighter
jets
and
captured
Wing
Commander
Abhinandan
Varthaman
and
the
whole
country
hoped
and
prayed
for
his
safe
return.
Pakistan's
Prime
Minister,
Imran
Khan
announced
IAF
pilot
Abhinandan
Varthaman
will
be
released
today
and
there's
joy
and
a
sigh
of
relief
all
over.
Pakistani
Citizens
Want
Abhinandan
Varthaman
To
Return
Home
Safely,
Says
Jamal
Shah
Pakistani
actor
Jamal
Shah
spoke
to
India
Today
about
Imran
Khan's
decision
to
release
the
IAF
pilot
and
the
actor
said
that
Imran
Khan's
decision
is
the
best
he
has
ever
made
and
also
stated
that
all
Pakistani
citizens
wanted
the
Wing
Commander
Abhinandan
Varthaman
to
return
to
India
safe
and
securely.
If
I
Was
The
Prime
Minister,
I
Would
Have
Made
The
Same
Decision!
"I
would
have
done
the
same.
A
majority
in
Pakistan
wanted
to
do
that
(send
Abhinandan
Varthaman
to
India].
Imran
just
responded
to
popular
sentiment," said
Pakistani
actor
Jamal
Shah.
India
&
Pakistan
Will
Thrive
If
We
Give
Peace
A
Chance
"We
(India
and
Pakistan)
share
music,
art,
folklore
and
all
other
forms
of
tangible
and
intangible
forms
of
association.
We
can
be
the
most
prosperous
neighbours
if
we
give
peace
a
chance,"
he
said.
War
Will
Only
Lead
To
Misery
&
Poverty!
"The
recent
skirmishes
are
a
logical
outcome
of
the
flawed
policies
and
it
is
scary
because
we
are
two
nuclear
nations.
War
can
only
bring
miseries,
distraction
and
poverty
to
this
region
where
over
70%
of
our
population
have
already
lived
below
poverty
line.''
I
Don't
Mind
Working
In
Bollywood
In
The
Future,
Says
Jamal
Shah
"I
am
an
artist
and
a
filmmaker
which
does
not
make
me
any
special
because
I
believe
that
every
normal
human
being
strives
for
peaceful
coexistence.
But
yes,
why
not
if
there
is
a
meaningful
film
offered
to
me.
I
most
certainly
will
do
it.
Likewise,
I
would
like
to
cast
a
few
Indian
actors
to
be
in
my
future
films."
India
&
Pakistan's
Talent
Must
Complement
Each
Other
"Indian
film
Industry
still
has
the
pre-partition
nostalgic
memories
of
great
minds
working
together
as
writers,
composers,
lyricists,
composers
and
actors.
I
would
like
to
help
create
conditions
where
our
best
talent
can
complement
each
other,"
Jamal
Shah
summed
it
up
to
India
Today.
