Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman was handed over to India on Friday night at the Attari-Wagah border. BS Yeddyurappa had earlier claimed that the BJP will win 22 out of 28 seats in Karnataka after the IAF’s pre-emptive strike on the Jaish camp in Pakistan.

He had said that PM Modi had warned Pakistan against harming the IAF pilot. While addressing a gathering at Junagadh town in Gujarat, UP CM had said that PM Modi was a strong prime minister. He said that in past it was difficult to secure release of our soldiers in Pakistan custody. He said that PM made it clear to Pakistan that they will not compromise and Pakistan should remain ready to bear the consequences if they do not return the IAF pilot.
