Saharanpur Mosque Demolished Following Court Order, Pakistan Condemns Action
Authorities in Uttar Pradesh's Saharanpur demolished a mosque located within the District Magistrate's office complex after courts ruled it was an unauthorised occupation of government land. The action, carried out following a court order, drew criticism from opposition leaders and Muslim groups in India. Pakistan condemned the demolition as a "reprehensible action" and called it part of a broader campaign against Islamic heritage, urging international attention. This reaction followed India's condemnation of a reported Hindu temple destruction in Pakistan, highlighting ongoing religious heritage disputes between the two countries.
