Published 2019-02-28 17:24:09 by Guest Author in Eurasia, Headline-News, India, Opinions, PakistanAnalysis by Jay Tharappel - Pakistani PM Imran Khan has announced that he will release the captured Indian pilot, Abhinandan Varthaman, as a "peace gesture", and he even wants to have direct talks with Modi over the phone.
