India on Monday (December 29, 2025) said Pakistan’s “horrific and systemic victimisation” of minorities of various faiths was a well-established fact and no amount of “finger-pointing” would “obfuscate” it.
New Delhi said this while strongly trashing Pakistan’s comments on the condition of minorities in India.

“We reject the reported remarks from a country whose abysmal record on this front speaks for itself,” External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said.
In Islamabad, Pakistan Foreign Office spokesperson Tahir Andrabi, responding to media queries on alleged vandalism during Christmas celebrations in some places in India, said “persecution of minorities in India is a matter of deep concern”.
Mr. Andrabi referred to what he called “recent condemnable incidents” of vandalism during Christmas, as well as campaigns allegedly targeting Muslims.
