Pakistan’s Senator Palwasha Khan Says Pakistan Army Will Rebuild Babri Mosque on Ram Janmabhoomi, Army Chief to Give First Azaan
Even by Islamabad’s long history of absurd political theatre and self-delusion, recent remarks from Pakistani lawmakers have stooped to a new low. In the wake of the Pahalgam terror attack, which claimed the lives of 28 innocent Indians, instead of introspection or de-escalation, Pakistani lawmakers have opted for war-mongering and fantasy narratives. The most outrageous statement came from Senator Palwasha Mohammad Zai Khan, who proclaimed that the first brick of a “new Babri mosque” in Ayodhya would be laid by Pakistani soldiers and that Pakistan’s Army Chief, General Asim Munir, would deliver the first azaan. It’s hard to say what’s more laughable the hubris of her claim or the sheer ignorance of history it reveals.
Pakistan is all about Terrorism, Hate, Islamist Extremism.

First, let’s be clear: the Babri structure was not a symbol of Islamic glory, but one of conquest and destruction. Historical and archaeological evidence confirms that it was built in 1528 by Mughal commander Mir Baqi after demolishing a grand temple that marked the birthplace of Lord Ram, the revered deity of millions of Hindus. The site, known as Ram Janmbhoomi, has been revered for centuries, and was a center of Hindu pilgrimage and prayer long before the arrival of Babur’s armies.
