MoSPI proposes to remove closed factories from IIP sample, aiming for truer picture of India’s industrial health in upcoming 2022–23 base series. Plan open to public feedback until 25 November.
Bihar is blessed with a land more fertile for revolutions than any in India. Why has it fallen so far behind then? Constant obsession with politics is at the root of its destruction.
According to abhinandan video released by ISPR he was quoted saying” I was looking for the appropriate targets when I got hit… how come he hit a f16 ?a question mark #1
Secondly MIG bison carries a total of 4 seekers ie missiles. Ispr showed all four. eith what tools/ weapon he used / fired on F16 and brought it down….?Question mark # 2. tamil films have more reasonable script than this….
Abhi None Done downed an F16 as india claims, …but Pk was totally unaware of their losrt F16 …so Pk honoured him with “fantastic tea” and released him two days after his capture !
Hi
I don’t wish to upset anyone here but there is no evidence that this gentleman shot down a Pakistani – F16.
Lockheed Martin who has a multi million dollar service contract, with PAF for their F16 fleet have told the international press and the US government that non of them are missing from the PAF inventory.
Modi won the election on jingoism about Balakot.
Now he is requiring the IAF to tell lies about an achievement of this pilot.
Abhinandan conduct when captured was brave and exemplary, this should be recognised, but I am sure this poor pilot and the aircraft controllers who know the truth, are feeling embarrassed by being dragged into the lies of politician.
Please Recognise people for their achievements and conduct, I admire this pilot for doing his duty and for being flawless in carrying out his training in a real situation.
Consider folk how bad it is for Abhinandan’s own integrity, the BJP government insults him by making him a honest man, complicit in accepting a dishonest award.
No Pakistan F16 was shot down, our IAF chief should have the spine to resist the IAF being made a tool for the politicians to win elections.
Unfortunately this Modi govt is Ridiculing Vir Chakra holder by awarding Abhinandan for below par performace. he was captured by enemy and Modi is politicising armed forces too. Shame Shame Shame
Very very good service from Indian pilots
I appreciate
Shame on India
