Lahore (August 22, 2018): The Pakistan Rangers and Indian Border Security Force (BSF) exchanged sweets at the Wagah Border to mark Eidul Azha on Wednesday.
According to the details, heads of the Pakistan Rangers and Border Security Force not only exchanged sweets but embrace each other on the festive occasion.
It is a tradition for Indian and Pakistani soldiers to exchange sweets on days of national importance for the two countries and on the occasion of major festivals every year. The annual practice is a confidence-building measure and an attempt to establish peace between the nuclear-armed neighbours.
However, both sides did not exchange sweets on the occasion of Eidul Fitr in July this year in defiance of a long-held tradition over New Delhi’s continued ceasefire violations.
