PM Modi did not give goodwill message
Pakistan’s leading newspaper Dawn wrote in its report, the Indian Prime Minister did not follow the tradition of giving a goodwill message while passing through Pakistan’s airspace, which has given rise to discussions of tension between the two countries. Dawn quoted an aviation industry source as saying that giving a goodwill message is a tradition, not a compulsion. Apart from this, Narendra Modi may have to face trouble from critics in India due to this.
