India has strongly rejected Pakistan's comments regarding the treatment of minorities in India, particularly in response to allegations of Christmas-related vandalism and attacks on Muslims. The Ministry of External Affairs stated that Pakistan's own "abysmal record" of "horrific and systemic victimisation" of minorities speaks for itself. India asserts that Pakistan cannot deflect from its internal issues by pointing fingers at New Delhi, emphasizing that Pakistan's treatment of its own minority faiths is a well-documented and serious concern.
