Official Spokesperson’s response to media queries on the demolition of Hindu deity statue

December 24, 2025

In response to media queries regarding the demolition of Hindu deity statue, Official Spokesperson Shri Randhir Jaiswal said:

We have seen reports on the demolition of a statue of a Hindu religious deity, built in recent times, and located in an area affected by the ongoing Thailand-Cambodia border dispute.

Hindu and Buddhist deities are deeply revered and worshipped by people across the region, as part of our shared civilizational heritage.

Notwithstanding territorial claims, such disrespectful acts hurt the sentiments of followers around the world, and should not take place.

We once again urge the two sides to return to dialogue and diplomacy, to resume peace and avoid any further loss of lives, and damage to property and heritage.
