The ministry of external affairs spokesperson Anurag Shrivastava in response to a question said, "This is, unfortunately, a sad reflection of the state of minorities in <a href="https://www.wionews.com/south-asia/pakistan-13-year-old-christian-girl-married-off-to-muslim-man-after-being-abducted-339906">Pakistan</a>. Over a period of time, we have seen the space for people from the minority community to practice their religion shrink continuously. Besides, their condition remains deplorable."

"We have been consistently raising the issue of the safety, security and well-being of minority communities with the Government of Pakistan,"&nbsp;Shrivastava added.

Earlier the matter was raised in British Parliament. British conservative MP Imran Ahmad Khan raising the matter of killing said, "We should not ignore humanitarian injustices and plight of persecuted minorities."

Highlighting, "hatred preached in Pakistan, ends up on the streets of Britain",&nbsp;Imran Ahmad who is&nbsp;himself a member of the Ahmadi community said&nbsp;it is in the "interest of our own security" that the British government&nbsp;makes it "clear to Pakistan, that state-supported persecution must end. "

In response to this, the British PM Boris Johnson said he has asked the Pakistan&nbsp;government to "Guarantee Fundamental right" to all the citizens. The matter has been raised by the minister for South Asia and the Commonwealth Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon with Pakistan's Human Rights Minister Shireen Mazari.

India joins UK in raising concern over killing of Ahmadi man in Pakistan

Leaders of a minority Muslim sect in Bangladesh on Saturday accused "fanatics" of digging up the body of a baby girl from a cemetery grave just hours after being buried and dumping it by a roadside.

The incident, which has sparked outrage on social media, is the latest targeting Ahmadi Muslims who many mainstream Muslims consider "infidels".

The three-day-old girl was buried in a cemetery in Ghatura in the eastern district of Brahmanbaria on Thursday, local Ahmadi leader, S.M. Selim said.

"Fanatics" dug up the child's body shortly after and left it by a roadside, he added. A photo of the body laid on a straw mat on a road has been widely shared and drawn angry comments.

"Her crime is she was born to an Ahmadi Muslim family," said Selim.

Police in the district said no complaint had been made however and one officer said the incident had been resolved "peacefully".

A local councillor, Azad Hazari, said he had intervened with police and the child was finally buried another graveyard some 10 miles (16 kilometres) away.

A local cleric Munir Hossain denied the body had been exhumed but said local Muslims prevented the parents from burying the baby at the cemetery.

"It is against the Sharia to let an infidel be buried in a Muslim graveyard," he told AFP. "The pious Muslims of the village would never let it happen."

The Ahmadis are an offshoot of the mainstream Sunni Muslim branch but are controversial because they believe their founder was a prophet.

They have faced attacks and had religious rights taken away in some Muslim majority countries, including&nbsp;Pakistan. The 100,000 Ahmadis in Bangladesh have come under regular attack.

In recent months, hardline Muslims have threatened to hold protests demanding that the sect be declared "non-Muslims" by the authorities.

In 1999, a bomb at an Ahmadi mosque in the southern city of Khulna, killed at least eight worshippers.

A 2015 suicide blast at an Ahmadi mosque in the northwestern town of Bagmara injured three people.
