Essence of peace and friendship; BSF personnel share sweets with Pakistan, Bangladesh at Eid ul Fitr

New Delhi, June 5: While the countrymen share cold vibes of animosity and bitterness towards its neighbouring country Pakistan, it is a true soldier who knows the true value of friendship and brotherhood. Conveying its deep regards with a message of peace and friendship, personnel from the Border Security Force (BSF) exchanged sweets on the occasion of Eid ul Fitr 2019 with their counterparts at the borders with Pakistan and Bangladesh on Wednesday.

Sharing sweets with their Pakistani counterparts, CSF personnel at the Attari-Wagah border wished each other on the occasion of Eid ul Fitr. The joyous festival of Eid ul- Fitr marks the end of Ramazan or Ramadan and is celebrated by Muslims all across the globe. The auspicious day is celebrated by breaking the 30-day long fast, known as Roza, with a grand feast.

Likewise, BSF personnel at the Indo-Bangladesh border also greeted each other with sweets on the occasion of Eid ul Fitr. Such gestures are widely regarded as a show of goodwill and go a long way in promoting the message of peace that is espoused by festivals across different religions. Sweets are also exchanged on the occasion of a number of other festivals, including Diwali and Holi.

Although there have been political clashes between India and Pakistan, ceasefire violations between the two countries, the soldiers rightly depict the true meaning of brotherhood and set an example for all to follow the bonhomie instincts.
