India's Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) has rejected Pakistan's comments regarding the treatment of minorities in India, calling them baseless and a diversionary tactic. The MEA spokesperson stated that Pakistan's own record of "horrific and systemic victimisation of minorities" is well-established and cannot be obscured by criticism. Pakistan's foreign office spokesperson had expressed concern over alleged incidents targeting religious minorities in India, including Christmas vandalism and actions against Muslims, urging international attention. India maintains that Pakistan should address its own domestic issues concerning minority rights.
