The comment from Pakistan regarding hoisting of the sacred saffron flag over the Ram temple in Ayodhya has once again increased the diplomatic tension between India and Pakistan. India not only rejected Pakistan’s objections, but also called them an example of double standards.

External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal clearly said that Pakistan’s criticism is neither factual nor has any moral basis. He said that a country whose history is full of fanaticism, dictatorial mentality and oppression of minorities is not in a position to teach religious freedom to a democratic country like India. Jaiswal also reiterated that the flag hoisting in Ayodhya is related to the cultural and spiritual beliefs of India and the opinion of any outside country has no importance in this.

Why did Pakistan raise objection?

Pakistan’s Foreign Ministry in its statement had described the flag hoisted on the Ram Temple as an expression of Islamophobia. Pakistan said that this step reminds it of the events of 1992 and creates an environment of danger for religious minorities in India. Pakistan even said that international organizations should intervene in this issue.

India gave a befitting reply

India reacted sharply to this statement and said that Pakistan should pay attention to the deteriorating situation in its country before interfering in religious events in India. MEA said, incidents like pressure on religious minorities, forced conversions, attacks on temples and churches and human rights violations have been happening continuously in Pakistan. In such a situation, preaching about Pakistan is nothing more than hypocrisy.

He said that UNHRC should be fair and equal for all countries, so that focusing on select matters does not distract the basic issues.

India’s befitting reply

It should vacate illegal occupied Indian areas instead of monitoring our region and focus on strengthening its economy.” Referring to the incidents of terrorists sent by Pakistan, he said, “There was an attack in Pahalgam in April this year. Will we forget Uri or Mumbai attacks? India and the whole world will never forget these antics of Pakistan.”
