Pakistan Urges Int’l Community to Act to Ensure Muslims’ Religious Freedom in India
The Pakistani Foreign Office also called on the Indian government to transparently probe the incidents of violence against minorities, particularly Muslims, and take measures for stopping such incidents in future.
“The government of India must ensure the safety, security and well-being of minorities,” it said.
Earlier, Pakistan strongly condemned the highly disgraceful incidents regarding playing of Hanuman Chalisa and other Hindu religious songs on loudspeakers as a counter to the Muslims’ Adhan (call to prayer) at various mosques.
“The disturbing incidents occurred only a day after Sri Ram Sena chief made the despicable call for “drowning” the Adhan through the provocative playing of Hanuman Chalisa and other Hindu religious hymns.
It is condemnable that a reprehensible so-called “Adhan se Azaadi” campaign has been launched by Hindu fanatic groups in Karnataka which lays bare the new level of religious radicalism in the BJP-ruled India,” the Pakistani Foreign Office added.
Indian media outlets have widely reported the ban of Adhan being communicated via loudspeakers with some mosques in parts of India now turning down the volume amid pressure.
