Ayodhya Ram Mandir Consecration: Here’s is Pakistan’s first reaction

Live Mint  

The historic ritual of 'Pran Pratistha' of Ram Lalla took place today in the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, saints, and a host of distinguished guests. Meanwhile, neighbouring Pakistan in its first reaction to the event the country's foreign office said in a statement that the consecration ceremony is "indicative of India's growing majoritarianism.' “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,” Pakistan's foreign ministry said in a statement. 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,” it further said.
