Pakistan’s bilateral diplomatic channels with Afghanistan remain open, and embassies and consulates on both sides are functioning normally to conduct routine diplomatic engagements, Foreign Office spokesperson Tahir Andrabi said during his weekly press briefing on Thursday.
Commenting on regional developments, the spokesperson strongly condemned the demolition of the Faiz-e-Elahi Mosque in India, describing it as part of a systematic and deliberate campaign by the RSS-BJP nexus to target and erase Muslim heritage across the country. He also recalled the destruction of the Babri Mosque in 1992 by extremist mobs.

He told the media that numerous other historic mosques now faced similar threats of desecration or demolition and called upon the United Nations and international community to take serious notice of this alarming rise in Islamophobia, hate speech and hate-motivated violence in India.
The spokesperson highlighted that India had made consistent efforts to silence the genuine leadership of the Kashmiri people and muzzle the media.
