Pakistan has strongly condemned the senseless vandalization and burning ofover 40 houses of Muslim community in Karauli area of Indian state ofRajasthan by radical Hindu zealots.
The Foreign Office in a statement said that Hindu extremists belonging toBJP-RSS dispensation with connivance of the local security authorities wereinvolved in incident.
The statement said equally alarming is the apathy of state machinery whichwantonly looked the other way and failed in its basic duty of protectingthe lives and properties of its citizens.
