Pak Rangers refuse to accept sweets offered by BSF

August 12, 2019 12:14

As the world celebrates Eid-Al-Adha on Monday, neighbouring Pakistan refused to accept sweets offered by India. The incident took place at Wagah border in Amritsar, where Border Security Force offered sweets to Pakistan rangers as a customary practice, as both nations exchange sweets every year on Eid; but the same were declined.

This comes amid escalated tensions between the two nations post governments decision on scrapping Article 370, which gave special rights and privileges to the people of Jammu and Kashmir.

Pakistan has consistently expressed its unhappiness over governments decision, with Pakistan PM Imran Khan dialing several international leaders expressing his resentment over the same. He had also said that It was a violation of the UN Security Council Resolution, a claim which has been strongly rejected by India.
