India Rejects Pakistan's Remarks on Ram Temple Flag
India's Prime Minister Modi put up a flag at a new temple in Ayodhya.
Pakistan said they were worried because the temple is built where a mosque used to be.
India said Pakistan shouldn't talk because they have problems with how they treat their own people.
A long time ago, some people tore down the mosque, and the court said that was wrong.
They gave the land for the temple but also some land for a new mosque.
Modi opened the temple recently, and that's why Pakistan is upset.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi hoisted a saffron flag at the Ram temple in Ayodhya, marking its completion.
Pakistan expressed deep concern, stating the temple was built on the site of the Babri mosque.
India rejected Pakistan's remarks, citing Pakistan's human rights record and calling it hypocritical.
The Babri mosque was demolished in 1992 by Hindutva extremists, and the Supreme Court ruled the demolition illegal in 2019.
The Supreme Court directed the land for the Ram temple and a five-acre plot for a mosque to be allotted to Muslims.
