PM @ImranKhanPTI government has scored massive wins in military, politics, diplomacy, morality and statesmanship in the last 48 hours. What a huge paradigm change. Finally a government devoid of personal interests & selfish goals. Pakistan UP on all fronts in this misadventure.

Imran Khan really has taken leadership over the process. Impressive in his first major crisis. Modi absent

This is the start of de-escalation and a gesture that will paint @ImranKhanPTI in a very positive light.

That's called winning a Cricket match by hitting a Sixer on a 'full toss no ball' to win the match. @ImranKhanPTI you have shown true magnanimity…

Hate is not synonymous to bravery.
Peace dialogue is not synonymous to weakness.
Each one of you inciting war-hysteria needs to grow above their egoistic existences.
I am extremely proud of my Prime minister & of all of us as a nation for encouraging peace with such grace! 🇵🇰❤️❤️— MAWRA HOCANE (Hussain) (@MawraHocane) February 28, 2019
