The MEA spokesperson was responding to media queries regarding comments made by Pakistan on the law.”Pakistan has no locus standi to comment on a matter that is internal to India,” he said.”Pakistan would do better to look at its own abysmal record when it comes to protecting the rights of minorities, instead of preaching to others,” Jaiswal added.The Pakistan Foreign Office spokesperson reportedly called the Waqf Amendment Act as an attempt to “dispossess” Muslims from their properties including mosques and shrines.”We strongly believe it is an infringement over the religious and economic rights of Indian Muslims,” the official reportedly alleged on Thursday.There are serious apprehensions that it (the law) will contribute to “further marginalisation” of Indian Muslims, the Pakistan Foreign Office spokesperson added.
