New Delhi: On the occasion of Eid, the Border Security Force (BSF) from India has gifted sweets congratulating the Pakistani Rangers at the international border. This is the first time after the Pulwama attack, India extended a hand of friendship to Pakistan.
Usually before the 14 February 2019, the day of the Pulwama attack, both countries used to exchange sweets and greetings at the international border on the occasion of festivals like Holi, Diwali, and Eid. However, following the Pulwama attack, the relations between the two countries deteriorated and the practice of sharing sweets and greetings during the festivals ended.
