    In Pakistan, Janmashtami festivities disrupted, temple vandalised | Amritsar News – Times of India

    In Pakistan, Janmashtami festivities disrupted, temple vandalised | Amritsar News - Times of India
    AMRITSAR: Islamic fundamentalists in Pakistan vandalised a Hindu temple in the middle of a celebration of Janmashtami in Sindh province on Monday.
    The right-wing group members disrupted an annual ritual held to celebrate the birth of Lord Krishna and then demolished the idol of the Hindu god in front of the helpless minority Hindu community members.
    Pakistan rights activist Rahat Austin said the temple was vandalised at Khipro in Sanghar district of Sindh.
    Rahat hit out at attacks on minorities in the neighbouring country: “Why do the crimes against non-muslim gods go unpunished whereas even the allegations of false blasphemy against Islam lead to mob lynchings?”
    In the recent past, a group of fundamentalists had attacked a Hindu temple in Bhong city of Rahim Yar Khan district of Pakistan’s Punjab. They had vandalised the Sidhi Vinayak temple and broken the idols of Hindu deities.
    Dr Jaipal Chhabria, member of Pakistan’s National Commission for Minorities, said the Kohli Hindu community was celebrating Janamashtmi when the incident happened.
    According to sources, local Hindus blamed policemen for the incident. A Hindu religious leader in Pakistan, Ramnath Maharaj, said after the incident, hundreds of Hindu protesters marched to the local police station to demand the arrest of the miscreants.
    Incidents of sacrilege of Hindu temples and idols are common in Pakistan and continue to happen despite claims of the Pakistan government of providing religious freedom and security to minority communities.
    On March 2, miscreants had vandalised Rawalpindi’s Purana Qila Mata Mandir.
