Given that 1.92% of Pakistan’s population comprises of Hindus and the country houses the fifth largest population of people belonging to this ancient religion, it only seems logical for Pakistanis to join in on the festivities with their Hindu country men and women.

Despite tensions on the Line of Control, soldiers on both sides of the divide got together to exchange sweets, making our heart yearn for peace in the South Asian sub-continent.
On the occasion of #Diwali, as a confidence building measure, sweets were exchanged between PAKISTAN Army and INDIAN Army at Poonch and Mendhar on 06 Nov 2018.
