New Delhi, Jan. 26 (TNS): Breaking tradition, India Border Security Force on Friday refused to share sweets with Pakistan Rangers at the Attari-Wagah border on the occasion of India’s 69th Republic Day.
“Atmosphere was such that no exchange of sweets took place with Pakistan Rangers. I think in the coming time old tradition of exchanging sweets will be revived soon,” Director General of BSF KK Sharma was quoted as saying by Indian media after the flag meeting with his Pakistani counterpart.
With tensions between both the countries escalating along the Line of Control (LOC), ceasefire violations were discussed during the flag meeting with India.
The meeting was the first between the two sides since “heavy shelling and firing was experienced on the IB during the last week”, the border guarding force said in a statement.
