The posturing by both sides, especially the Pakistani troopers, is as aggressive, even though this has nothing to do with the LoC flare-up.
Both sides had toned down the aggressive posturing, like mocking with thumbs, stamping of feet and the "dare you" body language to some extent in the last couple of years, even though the parameters of the ceremony have remained largely the same.
"The playing of patriotic songs, slogans, stamping of feet and the rest of the ceremony are all on as in the past. The events of the LOC have not affected anything here. The movement of trade through trucks, people and the bus service from Attari-Wagah is all normal," a BSF officer told IANS at Attari, 30 km from Amritsar.
