(AP Photo/Tsering Topgyal)THE ESCALATION of tension between India and Pakistan, following the beheading of two Indian soldiers by a Pakistani border team on Monday, has had an unexpected fallout. Around 50 Pakistani children, who crossed the Wagah border on Monday for a five-day exchange programme to promote “peace and harmony”, have been sent back. “An NGO had invited Pakistani school students here. The students, aged between 11-15, had visited the Golden Temple in Amritsar on Monday afternoon, and arrived in Delhi that evening. Following a sight-seeing trip in the capital, they were to visit Agra and participate in an exchange of experiences with Indian students at the Pakistan Embassy.
