Attari/Chandigarh : How deep runs the
mistrust between nuclear armed neighbours India and Pakistan was
evident yet again on February 15, when Pakistani authorities sent a pack
of 50 stray dogs aboard the
 |
Samjhauta Express on February 15 just to
bark at Indians. The officials in Lahore had earlier found a street dog
in the train as it halted at Lahore station from a trip to Amritsar.
Officials in Lahore thought that Indians had sent a street dog to
condescend Pakistanis, so they retorted by sending back 50 dogs to
Amritsar.
The news was broken by a Pakistani daily, which also claimed that prominent officials in Islamabad had been kept in loop about the move and also supervised the rejoinder.
It is also learnt that Pakistani authorities had sent some of their ugliest looking dogs, which were deliberately kept hungry before being boarded on the bi-weekly Samjhauta Express.
Officials in MEA have claimed that India had no intention of ‘humiliating anybody’ and the dog must have sneaked onto the train furtively.
“And why wasn’t it pointed out at Customs check at Zero Point on Attari border?,” asked the official who didn’t want to be named as Indian government doesn’t want to escalate the absurd matter.
