Former Diplomat's book shows how PM Modi snubbed Imran Khans' midnight call after Balakote strike.
With nine Indian missiles apparently pointed at Pakistan, ready to be unleashed any moment, a spooked Pakistani government knocked on the doors of then Indian high commissioner Ajay Bisaria at midnight to defuse the situation by facilitating a conversation its PM Imran Khan wanted to have with PM Modi, reports Sachin Parashar.
The night in question, described later by Modi himself as “qatal ki raat” (night of bloodshed), was of February 27, 2019, the first of the two that captured Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman spent in Pakistan’s custody after the aerial dogfight earlier in the day.
Bisaria pieces together granular details of developments after the pilot was taken captive in an account of India’s coercive diplomacy, which led to his release two days later, in his upcoming book ‘Anger Management: The Troubled Diplomatic Relationship Between India and Pakistan’.
