Safeguard Islamic religious sites in India

Pakistan’s request to the United Nations after Gyanvapi Mosque survey report

New York (US) – Pakistan has requested the United Nations to safeguard Islamic religious sites in India. Munir Akram, Pakistan’s Ambassador to the United Nations, made this demand during a meeting held at the United Nations headquarters here. This demand was made by Pakistan after the survey report of Gyanvapi Mosque was made public. Previously, Pakistan’s Foreign Ministry issued a statement condemning the consecration of Shri Ramlalla at the Shriram Temple in Ayodhya. Pakistan had said that on December 6, 1992, a mob demolished the centuries-old mosque. The Supreme Court of India acquitted those responsible for this incident. Not only this, permission was also granted to build a temple at the same site. This is reprehensible.

1. Munir Akram has written a letter addressed to Miguel Ángel Moratinos, a high official of the United Nations Alliance of Civilisations. It states that” Pakistan condemns in the strongest terms the construction and consecration of the Shriram Temple on the site of the demolished Babri Mosque in Ayodhya, India. This trend poses a significant threat to the social, economic, and political well-being of Indian Muslims, as well as to the harmony and peace in the region.” (The world knows who disturbs the peace in the Asian continent. So, India should warn Pakistan and ask to stop their incessant chatter about it – Editor)

2. The letter went on to say, “I am writing to seek your urgent intervention for the protection of religious sites in India. The United Nations Alliance of Civilisations must play a crucial role in safeguarding Islamic heritage sites and securing the rights of religious and cultural minorities in India.” (The United Nations must first tell Pakistan about the suffering Kashmiri Hindus are facing in Kashmir for the last 33 years due to Pakistan-sponsored Jihadi terrorism – Editor)

Threat to Gyanvapi and Shahi Eidgah Mosque

Munir Akram further said, “The consecration ceremony in Shriram Temple in Ayodhya shows an attempt to destroy mosques in India and religious discrimination. The situation extends beyond the Babri Mosque, with other mosques facing similar threats. Regrettably, this is not an isolated incident, as other mosques, including the Gyanvapi Mosque in Varanasi and the Shahi Eidgah Mosque in Mathura, face similar threats of destruction.”

Editorial Perspectives

• This shows that Pakistan is smarter than India in tactics. In the last 75 years, the religious sites of Hindus and Sikhs in Pakistan have been illegally seized by the Muslims or most of them have been demolished. It is shameful that India has never raised such concerns with either Pakistan or the United Nations.
• India should file a complaint with the United Nations and request censure against Pakistan for interfering in its internal affairs.
• Hindus are only trying to reclaim their temple sites on which mosques were built through legal channels and Shriram Janmabhoomi has been reclaimed in a similar manner. Therefore, Pakistan’s attempt to create a commotion with such statements is unwarranted.
