NEW DELHI/ISLAMABAD - Pakistan prepared to release a captured Indian pilot on Friday as the nuclear powers scaled back their confrontation, at least temporarily, while Indian opposition politicians raised doubts over whether an initial airstrike had destroyed a militant camp in Pakistan.
Both governments claimed they downed enemy jets on Wednesday, with Pakistan capturing an Indian pilot whose MiG fighter jet crashed in enemy territory after dogfight with a Pakistani JF-17. Firing along the contested border dividing Kashmir eased on Friday. But diplomatic relations between the two countries remain strained.
“During that half a kilometre run, he fired some more gunshots in the air as well, to frighten the guys but to no avail,” said Muhammad Razzaq Chaudhry, 58, one of the eyewitnesses. “Some of us did thrash him... because he had given us a tough time. But later we handed him over to the army personnel.”The conflict comes at a critical time for India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who faces a general election that must be held by May.
