87-year-old Hindu Temple Facing Demolition in Pakistan
Shamshan Ghat Temple in Pakistan shared by Hindus, Sikhs and Buddhists
Islamabad, Pakistan (CHAKRA) —The minority Hindu community in Pakistan has protested against the demolition of a pre-partition 87-year-old Hindu temple, in the town of Rawalpindi, but the destruction has been set to take place.
The temple was being used by Hindus and Sikhs to perform the last rituals of close ones, according to Jagmohan Kumar, the head of the Hindu community in Rawalpindi.
Kumar said, the Shamshan Ghat temple is not only used by the local Hindus but also by the foreign missions of China and the Buddhist community.
The Shamshan Ghat temple and land was given to Hindus when Benazir Bhutto was in power while Kishan Chand Parwani was the federal minister for the minorities in her cabinet. Kumar added that the temple is now being demolished while the land is being kept for the community.
According to Kumar, before the Shamshan Ghat temple was built on this land, it used to have several temples along Tipu Road and Nullah Leh. However, some of those temples were demolished before partition while the rest were flattened to the ground after the 1992 Babri Masjid occurrence in India. Many of the spaces where the temples originally stood are presently occupied by residential apartment buildings beside the Raja Bazaar in Rawalpindi.
Jagmohan’s commented on how muslims would feel if their mosques were demolished for the purpose of residential growth. Hindus are fed up in Pakistan but have no voice and reports have shown that over hundreds of Hindu temples are destroyed in Pakistan on an annual basis. Many analysts forecast that all Hindu temples (tens of thousands before 1947) will be destroyed by 2020 by Muslim extremists.
Know the Anger of GOD pakistan
Its really painful to read this article, i sincerely request all the hindu’s residing in pakistan to come back to India. Its very simple you cannot expect mango from a neem tree .. rest imagine if we send all muslims to pakistan ..
maybe hindus in India should return tit for tat. Also hindus have to learn to standup and fight for themselves. They are too accommodating and soft and get trampled on. If this was in the West, we’d fight fire with fire and bury those b@@@tards!
I just wanted to know if Hindu’s staying in Pakistan & Bangladesh have similar rights or not? Can they go to the court of law and demand as a right to rebuild temples that were destroyed in the respective countries? Even if they can, would they be allowed to live?
Now as a hypothetical case lets assume all the above was possible, the big question, would the decision be what its going to be in the Indian court of law? (As we all understand Congress’s vote-bank politics we all know that the Congress Party will ensure that the decision goes in favor of the muslims)
Its interesting to see from comments that the Congress’s vote-bank politics revolves around Muslims in India even when about 80% of the population is Hindus!!! If Hindus were united against Congress’s anti-Hindu, anti-National stance, we wouldnt have seen this day.
well good to listen that hindus and pushkarna are staying at pakistan, well the best way is that all pushkarna and all hindus leave pak slowly and come back here and live peacefully in our nation, its sad that pakistan govt is not able to control bad activities, request to govt of pakistan to make people live happily as its a right of human being..
hi bro really sory to know about but u must give a req to chief justic i m sure he ll do soemthing and we respect u and all other religens hope for good
…well we Hindus deserve this in Pakistan coz its not our land, hmmm in India we give shelter to duckers frm Bangladesh, and lick the ass of second majority community and we divide our selves into SC ST OBC etc… So we deserve whats happing dont crib abt it if one dont have balls to do something, forget it we r born to be slaves.
