India Responds to Concern over Historic Mosque Demolition<\/strong><\/p>\n India has firmly rejected comments made by Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari regarding the potential demolition of the historic Masjid Ganj Shaheeda mosque in Varanasi. The Indian Ministry of External Affairs criticized Zardari\u2019s remarks, stating that he has no right to interfere in India\u2019s internal matters.<\/p>\n Official spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal expressed that such comments are especially inappropriate given Pakistan\u2019s own issues with human rights. Jaiswal emphasized, \u201cThese statements are unfounded and absurd.\u201d<\/p>\n In a message shared on social media, Zardari voiced his worries about the mosque and urged India to halt any plans for its demolition. He warned that such actions could lead to further unrest within the region.<\/p>\n The mosque, which has stood for a thousand years, is reportedly at risk due to a legal notice issued by Indian railway authorities, claiming it is located on railway land. This notice requires the mosque to be removed by June 20, or it will face demolition.<\/p>\n However, the mosque’s managing committee disputed the notice, pointing out the absence of any official stamp or signature. They have requested an investigation into the validity of these claims and urged railway authorities to refrain from any demolition actions.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" India Responds to Concern over Historic Mosque Demolition India has firmly rejected comments made by Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari regarding the potential demolition of the historic Masjid Ganj Shaheeda mosque in Varanasi.
