Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan may have promised to release Indian Air Force Wing Commander Abhinandan but there are several hurdles being created there. Some citizens challenged Imran Khan’s decision before the Pakistani court. The entire India is eagerly waiting for giving a grand reception to Abhinandan. They had taken Imran Khan’s words for granted. Thousands of Indians from border villages gathered at the Wagah border for giving a rousing reception to Abhinandan.

Now the court will have to hear the petitions filed by the Pakistani citizens who are arguing against the release of the Indian prisoners. This has come as a matter of great alarm for the Indian government. For the Pakistani government also, the latest court case is throwing a big challenge.

The release of Abhinandan is actually considered as part of efforts to give a chance to reopening of peace discussions between India and Pakistan. There is also international pressure on Pakistan for stopping giving shelter to terror organisations. Such considerations are raising hopes of Indians on certain though delayed release of Abhinandan.
