FO rejects India's claims over Narowal temple demolition as 'false, politically motivated'

Pakistan says torrential rains damaged the century-old temple and restoration has begun, while rejecting India’s claim of vandalism as politically motivated.

  • On Friday, Pakistan rejected India's allegations regarding a century-old Hindu temple in Narowal as "false and politically motivated," citing torrential rain damage on July 21, 2026.
  • India's Ministry of External Affairs expressed "deep concern" on September 2 regarding reports of the temple's alleged destruction in Adda Siraj, describing it as vandalism against a historic minority place of worship.
  • Spokesperson Sajjad Haider Khan stated local authorities surveyed the damage and initiated restoration efforts, dismissing India's accusations as "cheap gimmicks" intended to distort facts.
  • Khan further criticized the "weaponisation of Hindutva ideology," asserting that Indian leadership must be held accountable for systematic persecution of Muslim, Sikh, and Christian communities.
  • The United Nations and human rights groups note that abuse of Indian minorities has risen in recent years, including demolition of Muslim-owned properties and targeting of Islamic-era monuments.
