Pakistan condemns mosque profiling in Indian occupied Kashmir

Pakistan calls the profiling of mosques in Jammu and Kashmir systematic harassment aimed at intimidating Muslims and obstructing their religious freedom, citing a 13% rise in hate speech in India.

  • On Saturday, Pakistan's Foreign Office in Islamabad condemned India's profiling of mosques and management committees in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir as `blatant intrusion into religious affairs`, the FO said.
  • Just days after revelations by a US-based research group, the Pakistan Foreign Office said the actions reflected `yet another coercive attempt to intimidate and marginalise the Muslim population` in IIOJK.
  • Authorities allegedly collected personal details, photographs and sectarian affiliations of mosque managers and religious functionaries, actions the FO described as systematic harassment exposing communal policies.
  • The FO reiterated its unwavering solidarity with the Kashmiri people and promised to continue raising its voice against religious persecution, while Islamabad said the people of IIOJK have an inalienable right to practise their religion without fear.
  • The FO framed the profiling as part of a broader pattern, with India Hate Lab reporting a 13% rise in hate speech in 2025 and rights groups citing increased communal tensions, including mob attacks on Christmas decorations last year.
