India’s Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) has condemned Pakistan’s recent comments on the treatment of minorities in India, labeling them as hypocritical given Pakistan’s own record of systemic persecution against various faith communities. Spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal emphasized that Pakistan’s history of victimization is well-documented and cannot be obscured by its criticisms. The remarks from Pakistan’s foreign office, which referenced incidents of vandalism during Christmas celebrations in India, were dismissed by India as an attempt to divert attention from its own abysmal human rights conditions. This exchange underscores the ongoing geopolitical tensions between India and Pakistan, particularly regarding human rights narratives, which are pivotal in shaping international perceptions and diplomatic relations.
