First brick of Babri mosque in Ayodhya will be laid by Pak soldiers: Senator

In a fresh provocative remark, Pakistani Senator Palwasha Mohammad Zai Khan claimed that Pakistani soldiers would lay the "first brick of the new Babri mosque" in Ayodhya. A video of her controversial speech in Pakistan's Upper House has gone viral on social media amid tensions between the two countries after the Pahalgam terror attack.

"The first brick of the new Babri mosque in Ayodhya will be laid by Pakistan Army soldiers, and the first azaan will be given by Army Chief Asim Munir himself," Palwasha said on Tuesday, adding that "We are not wearing bangles."

Palwasha further claimed that Sikh soldiers would not take up arms against Pakistan in the event of an India-Pakistan conflict. "If they are threatening Pakistan, then let them know that the Sikh army is not ready to attack Pakistan because it’s the land of Guru Nanak for them," she said, citing the country's religious importance.
