Prime Minister Imran Khan has tried three times to contact his Indian counterpart Narendra Modi but unfortunately, has received no positive response, GEO News reported on Friday.

The Prime Minister wanted to apprise Modi about his decision to release the captured Indian pilot and reached out three times on Thursday but received no response.

Later, during a joint Parliament session, the premier announced Pakistan will release the captured Indian Air Force (IAF) pilot, Wing Commander Abhinandan, 'as a peace gesture' to India.

During his speech in the Parliament, the Prime Minister reiterated that Pakistan desired peace and stability in the region as it was essential for the government’s efforts to pull the people out of poverty and attract investment.

“It should not be taken as a wrong signal.”

He also revealed that he has tried to reach out to PM Modi for the sake of peace in the region.
