Pakistan has called on the international community to take notice of rising Islamophobia, hate speech, and attacks motivated by hate in India following the hoisting of a Ram Temple flag at the site of the demolished Babri Mosque.
In a statement issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Islamabad, Spokesperson Tahir Andrabi urged the United Nations and relevant international bodies to play a constructive role in safeguarding Islamic heritage and ensuring the protection of religious and cultural rights of all minorities in India.
The statement added, “We also urge the Government of India to uphold its responsibilities by ensuring the security of all religious communities, including Muslims, and by protecting their places of worship in accordance with international human rights obligations.”

The statement expressed Pakistan’s deep concern over the flag hoisting at the so-called “Ram Temple” constructed on the site of the historic Babri Mosque in Ayodhya.
It noted, “The Babri Mosque, a centuries-old place of worship, was demolished on 6 December 1992 by extremist mobs inspired by fascist ideologies, and subsequent judicial processes in India, which acquitted those responsible and permitted construction of a temple on the demolished mosque’s site, speak volumes about the Indian state’s discriminatory approach towards minorities.”
The Foreign Office further highlighted that this incident reflects a broader pattern of pressure on religious minorities in India and deliberate attempts to erode Muslim cultural and religious heritage under the influence of majoritarian Hindutva ideology.
It also noted that numerous other historic mosques now face similar threats of desecration or demolition, while Indian Muslims continue to experience growing social, economic, and political marginalization.
