Demolition of Hindu temples and Idols by religious fanatics in Karachi, Pakistan

• Attack on 9 temples in the last 22 months
• External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar take the issue on international platforms, demands BJP leader Manjinder Singh Sirsa

Editorial Comments

• Insulting Quran and Prophet Muhammad in Pakistan is punishable by death for blasphemy. However, if such incidents happen in the case of Hindus, no action is taken.
• While the Hindu genocide is taking place in Pakistan, human rights organisations, secularists and progressives are not doing anything. This shows their hypocrisy.
• Hindus and their religious places continue to be under attack for the last several years in Pakistan. Therefore, the Government should have taken this issue to the world forum earlier. It is not acceptable by Hindus that they have to make this demand even now.

Karachi (Pakistan) – At the Ranchod Line division of Narayanpura at Karachi, 2 religious fanatics entered the temple and broke 2 Idols of Shri Durgadevi with the hammer and vandalised the Temple. The local Hindus later caught one accused named Muhammad Walid and handed him over to the Police. A blasphemy case was filed against him. There was a protest after the incident.  Hindus demand a death sentence for the accused. There is tension in the area after the incident. A huge number of Police officers deployed in the area. A few weeks before this incident, a temple in Sindh was vandalised and its property was stolen. This is the 9th incident of vandalising a Hindu temple in the last 22 months.

BJP leader Manjinder Singh Sirsa has circulated a video of the temple incident on social media, saying, a temple in Karachi has been vandalised. The attackers supported the demolition, saying the temple did not deserve to be a place for prayer. This is a State-sponsored act of terrorism against the Hindu minority in Pakistan. Sirsa also called on External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar to present the issue on the global forum in support of freedom of religion for Hindus and Sikhs across the border.

Minorities in Pakistan are distressed with such continued attack on their faith while the Pak Govt chooses to stay mute over such harassment
