Stopping Pakistanis from supporting/cheering on their side of the border with terrorist blasts helps India how exactly? Particularly since these kind of 'shows/festivities' on the border have been happening for many decades now.
Without rationale..and a sound one at that, you are mighty close to sounding like Razpak there.

Pakistan Police Say Bombing Kills Nearly 45
A provincial Pakistani police chief says a bomb blast has killed nearly 45 people near the country's eastern border with India.
Mushtaq Sukhera told reporters in Lahore that the bomb exploded outside a restaurant near a Pakistani paramilitary soldiers' checkpoint at the Wagah border crossing on the city outskirts.
He says the death toll is likely to rise because over 70 people are wounded, with several in critical condition.
Sukhera says the attack looks like the work of a suicide bomber, but police are investigating.
He says the police had intelligence reports in advance that there could be such a blast in the city.
Another Lahore officer, Haider Ashraf, says some paramilitary soldiers are among the wounded.
No one has claimed responsibility for the bombing.

At least 45 killed after blast near Wagah Border
LAHORE: At least 45 people have been killed after an explosion took place near the Wagah border on Sunday night, DawnNews reported.
Punjab police chief Inspector General Mushtaq Sukhera told AP that the bomb exploded outside a restaurant near a paramilitary soldiers' checkpoint at Wagah border on the outskirts of Lahore city. He also added that the explosion could have been the result of a suicide blast.
Nearly 70 people have also reportedly been injured in the explosion.
Emergency has been declared at all hospitals in Lahore. Prime Nawaz Sharif has taken notice of the explosion and called for a report on the incident.
Wagah is the only road border crossing between the Indian city of Amritsar and the Pakistani city of Lahore.
As most of the dead and injured were shifted to the nearby Ghurki Hospital, reporters said the premises was swarming with police, security agencies and the families of victims.
Hospital administration confirmed that at least 40 dead and over 50 injured have been received by hospital authorities.
“We received 35 bodies including those of women and children and 60 to 70 were wounded,” Deputy Medical Superintendent of Ghurki Hospital near the Wagah border crossing, identified only as Dr Khurram, told domestic television channels earlier.
Later, medical superintendent Dr Iftikhar confirmed that over 100 people have been brought to Ghurki Hospital. More injured have been shifted to Lahore hospitals as GH does not have the capacity to treat further patients.
Timing of explosion
The explosion reportedly took place as the Rangers concluded the ceremony at Wagah, and the flags were being lowered.
For years, a military flag-lowering ceremony that takes place every evening at the Wagah border post, which draws crowds of partisan tourists who cheer every hostile strut and stare traded by the border guards on both sides.
Blast site
Footage shows shops and nearby buildings destroyed at the site of the blast. Security and rescue personnel rushed to the site of the blast.
Journalists have been instructed to clear the area, which the Rangers have cordoned off for security reasons. Forensic teams are currently present at the site and are collecting evidence as part of the investigation.
An eyewitness speaking to DawnNews said people were coming out of the shops when the bomb explosion took place."There were several bodies at the scene of the blast. It was a very powerful blast.”
This is a developing story and will be updated accordingly

First of all my condolences to the deceased and their loved ones, The zombie P I G who killed the innocents may rot in hell and soon his buddies will face the same fate. The question is how did the zombie managed to get through four security checkpoints before reaching Wagah. someone needs to be held accountable for this security lapse.
