Pakistan’s Supreme Court had ordered a recovery of Rs 3.30 crore from the accused. After which, 10 of these maulvis started opposing the reconstruction of the temple. Even the local administration was not helping the Hindus. That is why the Hindu Council was forced to pay the fine and complete the reconstruction.
