New Delhi/Islamabad, Aug 14 (IBNS): Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday greeted people of Pakistan on the occasion of the country's Independence Day.

"Greetings & good wishes to the people of Pakistan on their Independence Day," Modi tweeted.

The relationship between the two neighbouring nations was hit by the recent terrorist attacks in Gurdaspur in Punjab and Udhampur in Jammu and Kashmir.

One Pakistani terrorist was caught alive during Udhampur attack.

Pakistan's refusal to invite Jammu and Kashmir Assembly speaker to a conference of Commonwealth Parliamentary Association also  strained the relationship between the two nations as India decided to boycott the meet which will be held in Islamabad next month.
