Pakistan's PM Khan also said he would release a captured Indian Air Force pilot as a goodwill gesture a day after Pakistani and Indian warplanes clashed over Kashmir in a sharp deterioration over the disputed region
Pakistan's Prime Minister Imran Khan and Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan after a news conference, in Ankara, Turkey, January 4, 2019. Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan said he will ask Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan to help defuse tension between Pakistan and India.
Pakistan said it will release a captured Indian pilot in a "peace gesture", taking a step towards rapprochement as clashes between the nuclear-armed rivals ignited fears of a disastrous conflict. "We are willing to return the captured Indian pilot if it leads to de-escalation," he was quoted as saying by Pakistan media.
Meanwhile, members of Indian Prime Minister Modi's Bharitiya Janata Party called for more military action, suggesting the conflict still could worsen. Modi himself held a teleconference rally Thursday ahead of national elections, warning that "India's enemies are conspiring to create instability in the country through terror attacks."
