'Buy better editing software': Indian Twitter slams Pakistan for 'forced' video of Abhinandan, appeals to 'not share'

This is the fourth video of Abhinandan Varthaman shot and released by Pakistan. It is clearly a part of the psychological operation against India. Security officials had already said that netizens should desist from sharing such videos on social media. "It is aimed to demoralise the forces and people," they said.

Twitter user also pointed out that this video was being pushed for a purpose by Pakistan.

Do not share the Pakistan propaganda video of our hero Abhinandan. It is sent out with a purpose. It is psyops. Be careful. Let us all be one.

This Jaahil's will pay dearly for this extremely shameful act. Aakthooo

So called “peace gesture” ends with a distasteful video of Wing Commander Abhinandan shot by Pakistani authorities when he was a prisoner. A total violation of the Geneva convention but par for the course in Pakistan. Please do not share this propaganda video

The video was just like another video shot by Pakistan, that of Kulbhushan Jadhav, who was forced to say almost similar thing.

Twitter users slammed the 'forced' video and called it proof that 'Pakistan won't change'

Pakistan has released a new video of Abhinandan which is less than 2 minutes long & has more than 20 cuts.

Just like there were more than 100 cuts in Kulbhushan Jadhav's videos published by Pak.

Imran Khan should buy better editing software for Pakistan as 'technical gesture'.

Satisfied that #Abhinandan is back. But so pathetic that he was forced to say things under #Pakistan military custody. Pakistan Army violated all norms in doing so. The little over one minute video has multiple jerks which show cuts. pic.twitter.com/O6FW9DfUJS

The video has many cuts and clearly been edited (and that too not well). They also called out Imran Khan for his doublespeak.

Twitter also pointed out and called for Pakistan to buy better editing software.

Pakistan can only be Pakistan. All the so called goodwill shown or earned by handing back WC Abhinandan is tarnished by that creepy little video with innumerable cuts. Students of class 8 are better video editors than Video Production section of Pak Army and ISI.

So the ‘statesman’ Imran Khan got his guys to record a propaganda video with Wing Commander Abhinandan before handing him over. 15 cuts in 1:30 minute video.

By parading Wing Commander Abhinandan before the TV cameras, Pakistan has shown that it has scant regard for international conventions and regulations. They recorded a video before his release which had more editing cuts than Imran Khan's video. It was also a complete violation.

Abhinandan Varthaman, who was in Pakistan's custody, was released on Friday by Islamabad. The Indian Air Force (IAF) Wing Commander crossed the Wagah border around 9:20 pm. Abhinandan was received by a team of Indian Air Force at Wagah border in Amritsar, Punjab.
