‘Legs were shaking’: Pak considers treason case against its leader for remark on Abhinandan

The Pakistan government is considering registering a treason case against a senior Opposition leader for his statement that the country handed over captured Indian Air Force pilot Abhinandan Varthaman to India under pressure, a top minister has said.

Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Sardar Ayaz Sadiq on Wednesday said that “legs were shaking and forehead perspiring” at a meeting of Pakistan’s top leaders, including Army chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa, wherein Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi pleaded to release Wing Commander Abhinandan, saying if he was not released, India would attack Pakistan.

“Legs were shaking and forehead perspiring, and the foreign minister (Qureshi) told us, ‘For God’s sake, let him (Abhinandan Varthaman) go back now because India is attacking Pakistan at 9 PM in the night’,” Sadiq had said, recalling the meeting which was also attended by parliamentary leaders, including those from Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) and PML-N, and added that “India was not planning to attack… They just wanted to kneel before India and send back Abhinandan.”

Responding to Sadiq’s remarks, Pakistan Interior Minister Ejaz Shah said the government was pondering over registering a treason case as the police have received a number of complaints against him.He said those conforming to India should better go to Amritsar.

Posters of Sadiq have also appeared in Lahore, dubbing him a “traitor”.

A number of posters and banners with pictures of Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman and Sadiq were displayed in the constituency of the former National Assembly Speaker. Portraying Sadiq in Abhinandan Varthaman’s getup, the posters read: “Mir Sadiq, Mir Jaffar… Ayaz Sadiq.”

The PML-N has strongly reacted to the move blaming the PTI government for “awarding traitor certificates” to its political opponents.

PML-N Punjab information secretary lawmaker Azma Bokhari said the one who put up “traitor” posters of Sadiq must be having a criminal record like in the past cases registered against the PML-N leadership.

The 37-year-old Indian Air Force pilot was captured by the Pakistani Army on February 27 after his MiG-21 Bison jet was shot down in a dogfight with Pakistani jets during aerial combat.
