ISLAMABAD – Pakistan has expressed deep concern over the bulldozing of Muslim-owned properties in Jahangirpuri, New Delhi.
In a statement, Foreign Office said that this shocking incident is further manifestation of the absolute apathy, complete disregard for the rule of law, and deeply entrenched hatred against the Muslims in India.
It said that during the holy month of Ramazan, there has been a visible surge in communal violence against Muslims spearheaded by radical Hindu mobs.
The Foreign Office said Pakistan calls upon India to treat the Muslims with dignity, transparently investigate the recent incidents of widespread violence, and take effective measures to prevent the recurrence of such incidents in future.
It urged the international community to take note of the deeply worrying trajectory of Islamophobia in India and play its due role in ensuring the safety, security and well-being of the Muslim community in India.
