Pakistan on Monday condemned the \u201chighly irresponsible remarks\u201d made by the chief minister of India\u2019s Uttar Pradesh on \u201ctaking back Sindhu (Sindh)\u201d and said that such statements \u201cmanifest a revisionist and expansionist mindset\u201d.<\/p>\n

A day earlier, Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath said that if Ram Janmabhoomi \u2014 the site of the Babri Masjid which has now been turned into a temple \u2014 could be \u201ctaken back after 500 years, then there is no reason why we cannot take back Sindhu\u201d, NDTV<\/em> reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter 500 years, a grand temple of Lord Ram is being constructed in Ayodhya. Ramlala will be seated again in his temple by the prime minister in January. If Ram Janmabhoomi can be taken back after 500 years, there is no reason why we cannot take back Sindhu,\u201d the report quoted Adityanath as saying.<\/p>\n

The Babri Masjid stood on the site in the northern town of Ayodhya for almost 500 years until it was demolished by Hindu zealots in 1992. The demolition sparked riots across the country in which 2,000 people, mainly Muslims, died \u2014 some of independent India\u2019s worst sectarian violence.<\/p>\n

Devout Hindus believe that Lord Ram, the warrior god, was born in Ayodhya some 7,000 years ago but that a mosque was constructed on top of his birthplace in the 16th century.<\/p>\n

In November, India\u2019s top court after a legal battle lasting decades awarded<\/a> the site to Hindus, giving Muslims another location to build a new mosque.<\/p>\n

In response to the Indian minister\u2019s remarks today, Foreign Office Spokesperson Mumtaz Zahra Baloch said: \u201cWe condemn the highly irresponsible remarks made by the chief minister of Uttar Pradesh, a key member of India\u2019s ruling dispensation and a follower of the bigoted Hindutva ideology, at the National Sindhi Convention in Lucknow.\u201d<\/p>\n

She said it was \u201cequally condemnable\u201d that the \u201cso-called\u201d reclamation of the Ram Janmabhoomi was cited by Adityanath as a template for reclaiming a region that constituted part of Pakistan.<\/p>\n

\u201cHistory bears witness that a Hindu supremacist mob had brazenly demolished the historic Babri Mosque on December 6, 1992 to take back the claimed birthplace of Lord Rama in Ayodhya,\u201d the FO spokesperson recalled.<\/p>\n

Baloch stated that the Indian minister\u2019s \u201cprovocative remarks\u201d were inspired by the \u201cgratuitous assertion of \u2018Akhand Bharat\u2019 (undivided India)\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese remarks manifest a revisionist and expansionist mindset that seeks to subjugate the identity and culture of not only India\u2019s neighbouring countries but also its own religious minorities. They also reflect a perverse view of history.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a matter of grave concern that such ideas are being increasingly peddled by individuals belonging to the BJP-RSS combined to further their divisive and parochial political agenda,\u201d Baloch said.<\/p>\n

The FO spokesperson added that instead of nurturing \u201chegemonic and expansionist ambitions\u201d, Indian leaders should resolve disputes with neighbouring countries and work with them to build a peaceful and prosperous South Asia.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
