President of the Buddhist Association of Cambodia, Ven. Preah Serikosol Som Sokha, has warned that the destruction of Hindu statues by Thailand could seriously offend more than 1.2 billion Hindus around the world and provoke widespread condemnation.
Speaking on the issue, Ven. Som Sokha said that damaging statues of Hindu deities, regarded as sacred places of worship, could have a profound psychological and spiritual impact on Hindu believers globally.
“There are approximately 1.2 billion Hindus worldwide, representing about 15 percent of the global population, with India being the country that has the largest Hindu population,” he said. “Such actions against sacred statues will undoubtedly be condemned, as they constitute harm to objects of worship deeply revered by Hindu followers.”
Meanwhile, India’s Ministry of External Affairs has issued a statement condemning Thailand over the reported vandalism of a Hindu statue near the Cambodia–Thailand border, allegedly carried out by Thai soldiers. The ministry described the act as one of “utter disrespect.”
A spokesperson for the Indian Ministry of External Affairs emphasized that Hinduism and Buddhism are religions revered by people across the region. The spokesperson added that, regardless of territorial disputes or claims, acts that disrespect religious symbols harm the sentiments of believers worldwide and should not be tolerated.
The incident has raised concerns about the protection of religious and cultural heritage in disputed areas and has drawn increasing international attention.
🚨 BIG BREAKING
India says the “DISRESPECTFUL” DEMOLITION of a Hindu deity’s statue along the Thailand–Cambodia border has hurt global religious sentiments.
New Delhi reiterated its call for dialogue and DIPLOMACY between the two countries.
The Thai military’s aggression against Cambodia has included the use of heavy artillery that damaged Buddhist temples, the bombing of Ta Krabei Temple and Preah Vihear Temple, and, most recently, the destruction of a statue of the god Vishnu. These sites are sacred places of worship and spiritual significance for Buddhists, Hindus, and followers of other faiths. For the true custodians of this heritage, witnessing such devastation brings profound sorrow and anguish beyond comparison. Those who are not the rightful owners, however, have shown no compassion for these religious structures or for the cultural and spiritual heritage they embody. They cheered and applauded while deliberately destroying and desecrating these sacred places of worship and religious faith. #ThailandViolatestheceasefire #India #Hindu #Buddhism

We, the Cambodian people, are very excited for the sacrifices and sharing of our pain that Thailand invaded Cambodia in a very brutal and inhumane manner, forcing Cambodian people to leave their homes. Please help the international community to look after Cambodia, we need you.🙏
Thai forces have expanded their attacks to target Cambodian civilians and residential villages, and to destroy civilian infrastructure—constituting a brutal act of aggression against Cambodia’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Thai strikes are now being reported far inside Cambodia.
On Thursday, a Thai F-16 reportedly struck an army base near Krong Preah Vihear, roughly 63 km from the nearest Thai border point. Panic followed. Schools, markets, shops, and fuel stations closed, and families began leaving the city.
Local residents described hearing multiple explosions with no warning. Authorities advised people living near military positions to evacuate. One soldier was reported injured.
Additional Thai strikes were reported the same day in Oddar Meanchey and Banteay Meanchey provinces, with locations estimated at 42 km or more inside Cambodian territory. The Interior Ministry says shelling and air strikes have damaged civilian and public infrastructure as deep as 80 to 90 km inland.
Cambodia stand up with the truth and dignity human, Cambodia not invade to the neighbour’s sovereignty first, Cambodian army stand by the own sovereignty at the beginning but Thailand want war with Cambodia and destroyed the world heritage.
