Pakistan Rangers refuse to exchange sweets with Indian BSF on Eid ul Fitr over ceasefire violations
*LAHORE: *Pakistani and Indian forces along the border did not exchange sweets on the occasion of Eidul Fitr in defiance of a long-held tradition over New Delhi’s continued ceasefire violations.
Accounts from the Working Boundary (WB) suggested that border authorities of the two countries resumed hostilities on the religious holiday after Indian soldiers had opened fire on unarmed civilians, targeting them with unprovoked shelling along the WB.

Indian forces regularly broke the ceasefire agreement on the border which has resulted in the martyrdom of many innocent people in recent months, and the exchange of sweets in this tense atmosphere was not appropriate.
Precedence for such an occurrence can be found in the past as well, especially on the Wagah Border. According to reports, the Pakistan Rangers were on duty and in their check-posts on the occasion of Eid, resolutely defiant and not willing to exchange pleasantries with the Indian soldiers.
