ISLAMABAD:
Pakistan on Tuesday drew international attention to rising Islamophobia and the desecration of heritage sites in India, expressing deep concern over the flag hoisting at the so-called “Ram Temple” built on the site of the historic Babri Mosque in Ayodhya.
The Babri Mosque, a centuries-old place of worship, was demolished on December 6, 1992, by extremist mobs inspired by fascist ideologies. Subsequent judicial proceedings in India, which acquitted those responsible and permitted construction of a temple on the mosque’s demolished site, underscore what Pakistan terms a discriminatory approach by the Indian state toward minorities.
