ISLAMABAD: Pakistan has categorically rejected the “unwarranted assertions” by the Indian Ministry of External Affairs in connection with the Hindu temple incident in Karak.
In a statement, the Foreign Office spokesman Zahid Hafeez Chaudhri said this is not the first time the Indian government has tried to feign concern for minority rights elsewhere while being the most “egregious and persistent violator of minority rights itself”.
Last week, an angry mob attacked and set ablaze the shrine of a Hindu saint in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s Karak district.
According to Geo News, Chaudhri said the RSS-BJP regime’s record is replete with instances of gross and systemic violations of the rights of minorities, particularly the Muslims.
ISLAMABAD: The Foreign Office on Saturday rejected Indian concern over Karak temple vandalism telling New Delhi to end its own state sponsorship of discrimination against minorities before lecturing others.
“As a perennial purveyor of state-sponsored discrimination against its minorities, India is in no position to pontificate on the issue of minority rights elsewhere,” the FO said in its rejoinder to a statement by the Indian Ministry of External Affairs on the Karak incident.
The Indian ministry, in a demarche given to the Pakistan High Commission in Delhi, had urged the Pakistan government to ensure safety and security of its minority communities, including protection of their religious rights and cultural heritage.

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan has categorically rejected completely unwarranted assertions by the Indian Ministry of External Affairs in connection with the Hindu temple incident in Karak, advising New Delhi to set its own house in order rather than feigning concern for minority rights elsewhere.
In a statement, Foreign Office Spokesperson Zahid Hafeez Chaudhri said this is not the first time the Indian government has tried to feign concern for minority rights elsewhere while being the most egregious and persistent violator of minority rights itself.
He said the RSS-BJP regime’s record is replete with instances of gross and systemic violations of the rights of minorities, in particular Muslims. The spokesperson said as a perennial purveyor of state-sponsored discrimination against its minorities, “India is in no position to pontificate on the issue of minority rights elsewhere”.
