WEB DESK: India welcomed the Pakistani captive Indian Air Force pilot Abhinandan after he was released by Pakistani authorities yesterday. Indians praised Abhinandan over his heroic escape from Pakistan, according to Indian Media.
Indian celebrities too joined the circus and started terming him a hero and a strong man, despite the fact that his plane was downed and he was captured by Pakistan Air Force in an operation. As villagers caught him and started beating him, Pakistani soldiers came to his rescue and saved him from a possible lynching.
As expected, their celebrities too joined the bandwagon and started tweeting on the #WelcomHomeAbhinandan trend only to be ridiculed and schooled by the Twitterati.
Tables turned when an Australian cricket journalist Dennis Freedman couldn’t stop himself from schooling Indian star cricketer Virat Kohli when he posted an image on Instagram to pay “tribute” to the IAF wing commander.

As Kohli termed Abhinadan his “real hero”, Dennis Freedman had to step in and remind the star batsman that Imran Khan, not Abhinandan is the real hero in this situation.
What exactly did he do to make himself a hero except for lose a million dollar plane, hide behind the Pakistani army…
