Why is a dying nation like Pakistan raking up the Ayodhya verdict

Pakistan’s education minister Shafqat Mahmood at the UNESCO meet criticised the Ayodhya verdict and said that it was contrary to the values of religious freedom. The recent ranting on the Ayodhya judgment was clearly another attempt by Pakistan to stir up emotions. It has been going from one international forum to another dishing out the Kashmir issue, but has failed to gain much traction. Just like the Kashmir issue, this Ayodhya statement too has rightly got no traction. India’s foreign minister, S Jaishankar, rightly said that Pakistan has been building an industry out of terrorism. Why is Pakistan raking up the Ayodhya issue at a time when the Muslims of India have called for peace in the aftermath of the verdict?
