Pakistanis having a tea party. Now that’s some fantastic tea!
After the Pulwama incident, exactly one year ago India tried to send jets into Pakistan as a surprise but got “surprised” back when the jets were downed and one now-famous Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman was treated to some fantastic Pakistani tea. Despite this generosity by Pakistan, Indian authorities still tried to escalate tensions in the region by giving hype to the war hysteria and by making false claims of causing a large number of casualties by conducting Balakot strike which turned out to be casualties of trees and Pakistanis mourned their loss with great sorrow.
So, one complete year has passed since fantastic chai was served to our Indian neighbor and Pakistanis are having a tea party in celebration

People made sure to first remember the real fallen heroes on Pakistani side during that fateful event
Today marks a dark day in Pakistan’s recent history. Last year, on february 26th, 19 innocent trees were mistaken as terrorists by the stupid IAF & were mercilessly bombed to death. Our thoughts & love forever with the family of the said trees. Gone but not forgotten. 🌲🌳♥️

While Pakistanis celebrated the tea party, they also made sure to honor the heroes who actually “surprised” Abhinandan and India
Quite a few people also mentioned how they missed the caustic commentary of former DG ISPR Asif Ghafoor.

The biggest topic of conversation on Pakistani social media is this anniversary
Notice how even Corona Virus, which has finally officially been diagnosed in Pakistan, is barely making the top five conversations. We definitely have our priorities set. Shhhrrrup.
So, people took this opportunity to remind Indians not to try to “surprise” again unless they want to taste more Pakistani tea

But most of all, people made sure to thank the PAF for making sure that such “surprises” are returned with equal enthusiasm
Dear Pakistanis :
Sleep Tight, PAF is awake😍🇵🇰💪#27FebSurpriseDay pic.twitter.com/iUTd7L308N— ShErAz🇵🇰 (@SherazAS1) February 26, 2020
Undoubtedly, Pakistan gave a befitting reply by shooting down the Indian jets and the way Pakistan treated the captured Indian pilot Mr. Abhinandan deserves appreciation. This celebration of the historic incident was indeed necessary, especially because of the aggressive measures that India has been taking recently, first by illegally occupying Kashmir and trying to incite more conflict with Pakistan, and more recently by pushing for more violence and blood against its own people.
Are you also celebrating the surprise day and the world’s biggest tea party? Let us know in the comments below how fantastic your tea is.
