Jakarta (Indonesia) – Indonesia is an Islamic country with the highest Muslim population. Recently, a grand temple of Bhagawan Murugan was opened for devotees in its capital Jakarta. The temple is built on an area of about 4,000 sq metres. Prime Minister Narendra Modi participated in its inauguration through video conferencing. Later, this event triggered criticism in Pakistan with threats of demolishing such a temple if built in Pakistan.
A video of a Pakistani Maulana’s speech after Friday ‘namaz’ went viral where he says – “A Hindu temple was built in the United Arab Emirates. A temple has also been built in Saudi Arabia where a ‘Smart City’ is being built and now, a huge temple has been built even in Indonesia. Indonesia was a ‘Hindu Rashtra’ earlier but it is an Islamic country now. Only Allah’s religion is the true religion. All other religions are wrong. The only right religion is Islam”. (The only Dharma that teaches ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam’ – the whole world is one family – is Hindu Dharma; but the followers of other religions claim their religion to be superior. – Editor). “It is not possible to construct a temple in Pakistan. If temples are built in Pakistan, people will destroy them. Temples are meant to be destroyed. Wherever there are temples, they should be demolished”, said the Maulana.
