The defence minister had met the Wing Commander at the Army's Research and Referral hospital here, a day after Pakistan released him in its bid to scale down heightened tensions between the two countries. Abhinandan's wife Sqn Ldr Tanvi Marwah (retd), seven-year-old son, sister Aditi and a few senior military officials were present in the meeting, PTI quoted its sources as saying. A defense ministry spokesperson said Sitharaman conveyed to the pilot the sentiment of the nation and appreciated his "impeccable combat skills as well as calmness in adversity".
Official sources further noted that he is mentally strong and remains in high spirits despite the harassment he suffered in Pakistan. Varthaman is undergoing a series of medical tests as part of the "cooling down" process and it is expected to continue till Sunday. Once the health check-up is over, debriefing sessions will be arranged for him, officials said.
He arrived in the national capital around 11:45 PM on Friday and soon after he was taken to the Air Force Central Medical Establishment (AFCME), a compact and specialized medical evaluation center for aircrew of all the three services. When he crossed over to India Friday night, his right eye above his handlebar mustache appeared swollen.
Abhinandan also conveyed to the IAF brass that he wants to return to the cockpit as soon as possible. For the last two days, the Indian Air Force (IAF) pilot has been undergoing medical treatment at a military hospital in Delhi.
Now, post this, there have been several questions regarding the possibilities of the situation between India and Pakistan, if Pakistan shouldn't have returned Pilot Abhinandan. A senior soldier from Andhra Pradesh went revealing everything in an interview on youtube. Watch the video here:

In the video, the soldier went saying that the wa*r with Pakistan wouldn't have been inevitable if Geneva treaty wasn't followed. He even went adding that the Indian army was all set to face a war against Pakistan and the results would have been quite devastating for Pak considering the military strength they have.
