Pakistan issues a warning against India’s growing Islamophobia and destruction of its cultural heritage.

The raising of a flag atop the so-called Ram Mandir, which was built on the site of the former Babri Mosque in India, has deeply alarmed Pakistan.

The Foreign Office spokesperson said that Pakistan has called on the world community to pay attention to the rise of Islamophobia in India in a statement released from the federal capital.

The Babri Mosque, a centuries-old house of worship, was destroyed by fanatics on December 6, 1992, according to the Foreign Office. The spokesperson pointed out that the Indian government used the legal system to help those extremists get acquitted.

The Indian government approved the construction of a temple on the site of the destroyed mosque, the statement continued. Similar dangers of destruction currently exist for other ancient mosques in India. It went on to say that India’s discriminatory practices are a reflection of the country’s problematic treatment of minorities.

Indian Muslims are marginalised politically, economically, and socially, according to the Foreign Office. The foreign community needs to be aware of the growing Islamophobia in India and condemn hate speech and acts that target minorities.

The representative also urged the UN to protect Indian Muslims and all other religious communities, as well as to guarantee the preservation of Islamic history in India.
