India won�t fire first bullet at Pak: Rajnath

By The Assam Tribune

NEW DELHI, Sept 11 - India can be called �more Islamic than Pakistan� as more Muslims live here than that country, Home Minister Rajnath Singh today told the chief of Pakistan Rangers who called on him to discuss ways to keep the border peaceful.

During the interaction, Singh said India wants peace with all neighbours, including Pakistan, and will not fire the first bullet, but asked the Rangers to ensure no infiltration takes place from their side.

In his response, Maj Gen Umar Farooq Burki, the head of Pakistan Rangers� delegation, told Singh that he was a �mere DG of a force and not the leadership� like the Home Minister and could not give any commitment in this regard.

He said he would convey Singh�s message to the Pakistani leadership.

Burki said his country also wanted peace along the border and cordial relations with India and that there could have been some incidents at the border where firing took place due to misunderstanding or by mistake. � PTI
