Pakistan Foreign Office hits out against Hindu Rashtra government in India

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan on Sunday termed the new illegitimate structure, which the Hindutva-driven BJP has campaigned for and is bent upon constructing as part of its agenda of converting India into a ‘Hindu Rashtra’, a scar on the face of so-called “largest democracy” in the world.
In a statement on the eve of 28th anniversary of demolition of the historic Babri Masjid by Hindu zealots of RSS-inspired BJP, Foreign Office spokesperson Zahid Hafeez Chaudhri said, “Today is a sad reminder of the demolition of the historic Babri Masjid in India.”
“On this day, 28 years ago, Hindu zealots of the RSS-inspired BJP, backed by the state apparatus, demolished the centuries-old Mosque in Ayodhya in an abominable act of anti-Muslim frenzy and blatant violation of religious and international norms.”
He said that the painful scenes of the demolition of Babri mosque in 1992 still remain fresh in the minds of not only Muslims but all conscionable persons in the world.
The flawed judgment of the Indian supreme court in the Babri Mosque case in November 2019 not only reflected the preponderance of faith over justice but also the growing majoritarianism in today’s India, where minorities, particularly Muslims and their places of worship are increasingly under attack, he added.
The spokesperson said that the recent shameful acquittal of the criminals responsible for demolishing the historic Babri Masjid in 1992 represented another egregious travesty of justice.
