EXCHANGING PLEASANTRIES ON EID

This really a matter of pride that despite sour relations with Pakistan, BSF Jawans never shirked to exchange sweets and pleasantries with the Rangers deployed along the border on festivals. This shows the magnanimity of Indian security forces as nowhere in the world such kind of warmness is seen making India the greatest among all nations. In this context, BSF exchanged sweets with Pak Rangers on the occasion of EID at various BOPs under Jammu Frontier in a very cordial atmosphere. It is pertinent to mention that the exchange of sweets was done all along the BoPs in Samba, Kathua, R S Pura, Akhnoor border. BSF Jammu offered the sweets to Pak Rangers and Rangers also reciprocated the BSF gesture by offering sweets to them. India is always on the forefront in creating a peaceful and congenial atmosphere on Border while dominating the border effectively. No doubt that such gestures help build a peaceful atmosphere and cordial relationships on the border between the border guarding forces of both the nations. There is no instance when the country has initiated a conflict with any of the nations of the world as was said by the Defence Minister Rajnath Singh a few days earlier. The gesture shown by the BSF testifies that despite strained relations with Pakistan due to its anti-India stance, the border guarding force of the country never misses a chance to create an atmosphere of bonhomie and camaraderie because the idea of exchanging pleasantries and sweets always sprouts from the BSF side, no doubt the Pak Rangers do response positively in the matter. Through such gestures India showcases its rich traditions and a legacy of thousands of years which bats for even loving thy enemies. This great philosophy on which Indian culture relies is matchless and forms the basis for making India the greatest among all countries. Whether the relations with Pakistan are good or bad, the tradition of exchanging sweets is followed by the BSF unless there is a complication due to pounding of bombs, etc. Such virtues make India a great country indeed and therefore the upcoming leadership of the country should follow such traditions to keep the name of the country high at all times.
