Pakistan condemns demolition of century-old mosque in India's Saharanpur
Foreign Office says demolition of 150-year-old mosque reflects broader campaign to erase Islamic heritage
Pakistan vehemently denounced the demolition of a 150-year-old mosque in Saharanpur, India, describing it as a "reprehensible action" against a historic Islamic place of worship. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) stated that the demolition was an example of the broader Islamophobic and Hindutva-driven campaign to erase the Islamic heritage in India.
The statement emphasized that the demolition of the Babri Masjid in 1992 remains a symbol of religious intolerance, prejudice, and hatred perpetrated by Indian authorities. Pakistan called on the international community to take immediate notice of the systematic persecution of Muslims and the destruction of their places of worship under state protection.
