The picture shared on Twitter showed Pakistani politician and former prime minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi wearing pilot’s uniforms with F-16 visible behind him.

Pakistani Air Force has never used F-14 Tomcat aircraft while Shahid Khaqan Abbasi left for US a couple of days ago.

The tweet sparked hilarious reactions from Pakistani Twitter users, with one saying India can keep the aircraft and the pilot.
