Karak (Pakistan) – An angry mob demolished a Hindu temple in Karak District of Pakistan’s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK) province on 30th December. A Muslim cleric from Karak, who enjoys the support of a militant group, allegedly instigated the local Muslims against the Hindu community and provoked them to demolish the temple.
Latest visuals from KPK, an extremist mob of Muslims are burning and razing down a #Hindu temple in Karak.
The reason is unknown but look at the hatred they have towards the religious minorities.

Ihtesham Afghan, a human rights activist from Pakistan, called the incident “shameful” and said it “reflects the way” Pakistan treats its minorities.
