India apologises over jeep crash incident at Wagah

Issue No. 24 | December 16-31, 2015

On November 16, a jeep crashed into the Wagah Border gate causing tension on the border for a while. The accident had happened at around 4 a.m. on November 16 and the Indian Border Security Force (BSF) later apologised to Pakistan Rangers terming November’s jeep crash at Wagah a ‘security lapse’.

The Indian side has written a letter to the Rangers offering a formal apology over the security lapse earlier. An Indian citizen had slammed his jeep to gates at Wagah border in November. The Indian security force had seized the four-wheel drive and detained the violator. The accident had happened at around 4 a.m. on November 16. India’s apology came after the Indian Foreign Minister Sushma Swaraj vowed to resume dialogue with Pakistan on various outstanding issues including Kashmir and Sir Creek during the fifth chapter of Heart of Asia Conference hosted by Pakistan on December 9. A joint declaration was signed between the two neighbours on the occasion.
