The spontaneous and popular backlash in Pakistan (and in other Islamic countries) was a direct response of emotionally outraged Muslims to the demolition of the Babri Mosque, which in no way was condoned by the Government. In Pakistan, the damage to the Hindu temples was condemned by all religious, political and other leaders of opinion, unlike in India, where political parties like the Bhartia Janata Party (BJP) and the Shiv Sena applauded the demolition of the Babri Mosque. Pakistan Government took immediate steps and committed itself to the repair of the damaged temples, work on some of which has already been completed and the other temples are being repaired. As opposed to the immediate action taken by the Government of Pakistan the pledges by the Indian Government to reconstruct the Babri Mosque have yet to be fulfilled. 25.

Furthermore, in cases of particularly long replies, such as that of the Sudan, given the constraints involved in publication, the Special Rapporteur summarized the information. In addition, when the information concerned States and/or individuals, the Rapporteur decided not to reproduce it, but to treat it confidentially, as an allegation. 25. Most of the replies from Governments referred to Constitutions, relevant laws and regulations, to the right to religion and traditions related to the question of freedom of religion or belief; to legal measures taken to combat intolerance and discrimination in that regard; and to government policies. 26.
