• Hindus feel that just taking him to the task is not enough but efforts need to be made for the protection of every Hindu and their religious place in Pakistan. 

New Delhi – A Shri Ganesh temple in the Rahimyar Khan area of Punjab Province in Pakistan was damaged by religious fanatics. In this connection, Indian External Ministry called the officer-in-charge of Pakistan’s High Commission and sternly sought an explanation. He was also told that the minority population was continuously oppressed in Pakistan.

Mr Arindam Bagchi, a spokesperson of the External Affairs Ministry said that they have condemned the incident. Last year in January, Mata Rani Bhatiyani Mandir in Sindh Province, Gurudwar Shri Janmasthan and on December 20, many temples and Gurudwaras were attacked at Karak in Khyber Pakhtun. The minority population’s religious freedom and religious places are constantly under attack in Pakistan, but the Government and security agencies take no action. Pakistan has been asked to take proper action for the safety of the minority population.
