Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday, while taking a dig at the Congress party during his address in the Lok Sabha, referred to two high-profile incidents: the capture of Indian Air Force pilot Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman in 2019 and the recent capture of a BSF jawan by Pakistan following the Pahalgam terror attack.<\/p>\n

PM Modi made these remarks while replying to the two-day debate on the Pahalgam attack and Operation Sindoor<\/a> in the Lower House.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen pilot Abhinandan was captured, it was natural for there to be an atmosphere of celebration in Pakistan, after all, they had a pilot from the Indian Air Force in their custody,” PM said.<\/p>\n

Watch: Prime Minister Narendra Modi says, \u201cWhen pilot Abhinandan was captured, it was natural for there to be an atmosphere of celebration in Pakistan, after all, they had a pilot from the Indian Air Force in their custody. But even here, there were some people whispering, \u2018Now\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/FyFqnyD98M<\/a>\u2014 IANS (@ians_india) July 29, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cBut even here, there were some people whispering, \u2018Now Modi is trapped. Let\u2019s see if Modi can bring Abhinandan back. Let\u2019s see what Modi does now\u2019. But let me say it loud and clear, Abhinandan returned with pride and dignity,” he added.<\/p>\n

Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman became a national hero after he shot down a Pakistani F-16 during an aerial clash in February 2019. His aircraft was also hit, and he was captured after landing in Pakistan-administered Kashmir. He was later released and returned to India safely. For his bravery, he was awarded the Vir Chakra, India\u2019s third-highest wartime gallantry award.<\/p>\n

Additionally, he also referred to the recent capture of a BSF jawan by Pakistan during the aftermath of the Pahalgam terror attack, Modi said, \u201cThey thought they (Congress) had found a big issue \u2014 that now Modi would be trapped\u2026 But that BSF jawan also returned with pride and honour.”<\/p>\n

PM Modi also recalled the time when Indian soldiers showed valour during the Doklam standoff. \u201cCongress leaders were secretly giving briefings to whom? The whole world knows that. Just compare all the statements from Pakistan with the statements made by those here who oppose us, they match from full stop to comma,” he added.<\/p>\n

He accused Congress of not fully honouring the sacrifices made during the Kargil conflict. \u201cThe entire nation knows very well that during Kargil and even till today, Congress has never truly embraced Kargil Vijay Diwas,” he said.<\/p>\n
