NEW DELHI: Home Minister Rajnath Singh turned the tables on Pakistan on Friday, advising a delegation led by the Pakistani Rangers chief that instead of firing at BSF men on the border, Rangers should instead fire at the terrorists trying to cross over the border since Pakistan is also a victim of terrorism "Why should the Rangers fire at the BSF or BSF fire on the Rangers? We should respect the other person in uniform. The Rangers should fire at the terrorists who try to cross over into India…like us, Pakistan is also a victim of terrorism," Singh told Rangers Director General Major General Umar Farooq Burki.The reference to Pakistan also being a victim of terrorism had first featured in a joint statement between both countries in 2009 during the Sharm-el-Sheikh meeting and was considered a diplomatic fiasco then. Singh also stressed on "pre-fire" formalities to be fulfilled by either side before retaliatory fire is opened, stressing that India will never fire the first bullet. Use of illumination bombs and sending fast messages through e-mail and fax have been included in modalities to escape confusion and ensure peace on the border, as per some details which will feature in a joint accord on Saturday.The Rangers, during talks with BSF that continued on Friday, strongly contested supporting any terrorist crossovers into India, pointing out that BSF has an impregnable border control fence with hi-tech surveillance means that should minimize any chances of crossover. But both sides have agreed on some additional methods to further strengthen border control like coordinated patrols. Pakistani diplomatic sources also claimed that BSF "has agreed" to refer to the Indian government the objection of Rangers to any construction of any new defence structure on the "Working Boundary" due to "disputed status of Indian-occupied Kashmir".The Pakistani sources said India had also agreed to a joint investigation of "serious incidents" on the border in the future while BSF desisted from probe into past killings of Pakistani Rangers in cross-border firing and "promised non-repetition of such events in the future".The Home Minister meanwhile impressed upon the Rangers delegation that India can be called "more Islamic than Pakistan" as more Muslims live here and India is home to all the 72 'firkas' (sects) of Muslims, which no other country has. Quoting former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, Singh said "we can change friends, but not the neighbours".
