India rebuffs Pakistan's absurd claim on Ayodhya
NEW DELHI: India on Thursday stressed that Pakistan has no locus standi to speak on the Ayodhya issue and described Pak stand as absurd.
In response to queries on a statement by Pakistan on commencement of construction of a Ram Temple in Ayodhya, MEA Spokesperson, Anurag Srivastava said, " We have seen an absurd statement by Pakistan on a matter on which it has no locus standi.
Given its record, Pakistan should be embarrassed to even mention minorities. After all, numbers don’t lie even if they do.”
“As for the judiciary, Pakistan must realize that theirs is thankfully not the norm. There are others elsewhere with credibility and integrity that Pakistan understandably finds difficult to recognise. India is a nation served by the rule of law and which guarantees equal rights to all faiths. Pakistan’s Foreign Office may take time out and read their own constitution to realize the difference,” Srivastava added.
