Diwali Goodwill Alive on Gujarat-Pakistan Border

Source

Summary :

Pakistan has refused sweets as goodwill from India because of recent tension between both. But it is different in Gujarat they have been exchanging sweets as a tradition since the 1971 war. This tradition hasn't been broken. The exchanging happens in three places Banaskantha, Kutch and Gandhinagar — on the Gujarat stretch of the border.

Sweets are exchanged as a gesture of goodwill and peace between BSF and Pak Ranger. The sweets are accepted on behalf of the BSF director general, additional direct-general, inspector general and commandant. Sweets are exchanged at some border posts.
There have been over 60 ceasefire violations from the Pakistan side after the Army's surgical strike in the intervening night of September 28 and 29. Both sides have been trading mortar shells and small arms fire along the LoC and IB in Jammu and Kashmir.

Reflection:
 It is a very good tradition that both side are still doing a great tradition such as exchange goodwill even though they are in war. This tradition can be established because both side agreed to pact of exchanging. this tradition shouldn't be broken.
I hope exchange goodwill is a begining the end of the tension between India and Pakistan.
