Pakistani soldier caught from border; Rangers jawan caught while trying to cross into Indian side

JAIPUR: It has been reported that a Pakistani Rangers jawan has been arrested from the India-Pakistan border in Rajasthan. The Pakistani jawan was arrested by the BSF. It is reported that he was caught trying to cross into the Indian side. He is being questioned. The incident took place this morning. No further details have been released.

Meanwhile, Pakistan, which is on the alert for an attack by India after the Pahalgam terror attack, has once again made a provocative statement. Pakistan's Defense Minister Khawaja Asif has threatened to destroy any structure built by India to divert the water of the Indus River.

India had temporarily frozen the Indus River Water Treaty, which ensures water to Pakistan, after the Pahalgam terror attack. The Pakistani minister's statement followed this. Khawaja's argument is that diverting Pakistan's water will be considered an act of aggression. Khawaja's provocative reply was to a question about Pakistan's reaction if India moves to build dams in the Indus Basin. "If India does so, it will be an aggression on Pakistan. Even if they make such an attempt, Pakistan will destroy that structure," Khawaja Asif said.

Meanwhile, India has completely banned all imports from Pakistan. The ban is part of a strong response to Pakistan in the wake of the Pahalgam terror attack. The decision is taken in the interest of national security and there is a ban on direct or indirect imports from Pakistan, the commerce ministry said in a notification.
