Pakistan on Monday condemned the construction and consecration of the ‘Ram Temple’ on the site of the demolished Babri Mosque in the Indian city of Ayodhya and urged the international community to take cognisance of the growing Islamophobia, hate speech and hate crimes in India.
“The United Nations and other competent foreign organizations play their role in rescuing Islamic heritage sites in India from extremist groups and ensuring the protection of the religious and cultural rights of minorities in India,” the Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson said in a press release.
Pakistan also suggested to the Indian government the protection and safety of devout minorities, adding Muslims and their holy sites.
The centuries-old mosque was demolished on December 6, 1992 by a mob of extremists.
Deplorably, the spokesperson said, India’s superior judiciary not only acquitted the criminals responsible for this despicable act but also allowed the construction of a temple on the site of the demolished mosque.
“The advances of the past 31 years, which have led to today’s consecration ceremony, are indicative of a developing majoritarianism in India. These are one aspect of ongoing efforts to socially, economically and politically marginalize Indian Muslims,” the spokesperson said.

The spokesperson came under pressure that a temple built on top of a demolished mosque would remain a stain on the face of Indian democracy in the future.
“The rising tide of ‘Hindutva’ ideology in India poses a serious threat to religious harmony and regional peace. The chief ministers of two major Indian states, Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh, are on record as citing the Babri Mosque’s demolition or inauguration of the ‘Ram Temple’ as the first step towards reclaiming parts of Pakistan,” the spokesperson said.
