Agencies / Islamabad

Criticising India for starting the construction of Ram temple at the site of Babri Masjid in Ayodhya,Pakistan today said that it showed how the Muslims in the country are being marginalised.

Pakistan Foreign Office (FO) in a statement on Wednesday night said that while the world is grappling with the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic, “RSS-BJP combine” was advancing the “Hindutva” agenda.

“The commencement of construction of a mandir at the site of the historic Babri Masjid in Ayodhya on May 26, 2020, is another step in this direction and the Government and people of Pakistan condemn it in the strongest terms,” it said.

The statement said the commencement of the temple’s construction is a sequel to the decision given by India’s Supreme Court on 9 November 2019, “which completely failed to uphold the demands of justice”.FO said the developments relating to the Babri Masjid, CAA and initiation of NRC process are vivid illustrations of how the Muslims in India are being marginalised.PT
