Ayodhya, Jan 23: In yet another burnol moment over Ram Mandir Pran Pratishtha in Ayodhya, after liberals and leftists, now Pakistan has criticized the historic event that happened on January 22.
"Developments of the last 31 years, leading to today's consecration ceremony, are indicative of growing majoritarianism in India. These constitute an important facet of the ongoing efforts for social, economic and political marginalization of the Indian Muslims," it said.
Pakistan also claimed the temple was a blot on India's democracy.
"The Chief Ministers of two major Indian states, Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh, are on record as citing the Babri Mosque’s demolition or inauguration of the ‘Ram Temple’ as the first step towards reclaiming parts of Pakistan," the statement further read.
However, celebrations swept across the nations over the construction and consecration ceremony of Ram Mandir and people celebrated the event as Diwali.
In a statement issued by the Foreign Ministry of Pakistan, Islamabad condemned the construction and the consecration ceremony of Ram Mandir in Ayodhya.
“The centuries-old mosque was demolished on 6 December 1992 by a mob of extremists. Deplorably, India’s superior judiciary not only acquitted the criminals responsible for this despicable act but also allowed the construction of a temple on the site of the demolished mosque,” reads the statement by a country where minorities, including Hindus and Christians, are subjected to unspeakable atrocities, often with their places of worship and idols attacked and destroyed.

Pakistan also claimed the temple was a blot on India's democracy.
"Notably, there is a growing list of mosques, including the Gyanvapi Mosque in Varanasi and Shahi Eidgah Mosque in Mathura, facing similar threat of desecration and destruction," the country claimed.
