No sweets exchanged across LoC on Eid, PM Modi greets Bangladesh’s interim leader

Share
In a break from tradition, there was no exchange of sweets between India and Pakistan across the Line of Control (LoC) on the occasion of Eid-ul-Fitr this year. The exchange of sweets across the border has long been a symbol of peace and goodwill, typically carried out during special occasions and festivals. This gesture, often involving military personnel stationed at the LoC, serves as a reminder of shared humanity, even in the midst of challenging political relations. The absence of this exchange has raised questions, as such small but meaningful gestures have historically helped foster a spirit of positivity and understanding between the neighboring countries.
