Historic Hindu temple facing demolition in Pakistan

A historic Hindu temple at Rawalpindi in Pakistan is facing demolition to make way for barracks for soldiers. The temple has existed from pre-partition era (creation of separate country Pakistan for Muslims). The temple along with a Hindu graveyard and 53 single-room houses could be demolished at the site. 

Zee News reports the following about this news [Link]: 

"Built in 1935, Maharishi Walmeck Sawami Jee Temple popularly known as Balaknash Temple is located at Gracy Lines of Chaklala, which falls in the municipal jurisdiction of military-managed Rawalpindi Cantonment Board.

The decision has caused anger among the Hindus as the temple is centre of religious activities of the small community in Rawalpindi, about 25 km from here.

A Hindu resident, Ashok Chand, told media that the temple and the houses were legally built before partition and there was no reason to demolish them.

"We refused to go to India and decided to stay in Jinnah's Pakistan, now our homes and sacred temple are being bulldozed. Are not we Pakistanis or at least humans?" he said.

About 60 Hindu families live in Rawalpindi which had a thriving Hindu population before the partition."

We hope the plan to demolish the temple and other structures belonging to Hindus is scrapped and Hindus are allowed their right of worship and practicing their religion.

Three Hindu temples in Pakistan's Sindh province have been desecrated, drawing strong protests from the community after which police arrested five persons in connection with the attacks. "Unknown men entered three Hindu temples in the Kot Ghulam Mohammad area near Mirpurkhas yesterday and smashed the idols of Hindu deities," SSP Jam Zafarullah said today. "The temples of Shiv, Khaitpar and Khusshal Puri were attacked," he said.

The attacks prompted a strong reaction from the Hindu community who demanded the arrest of the culprits. "The police used sniffer dogs to track down the accused from the area and five of them were under arrest," he said. 

When asked about the attack on a prominent Hindu temple in Larkana earlier in the month where the mob after looting it set it ablaze, the police official said they are two different cases. "Attacks on Hindu places of worship had grown this year in the area and this was a cause of great concern to the Hindu community," Khem Chand, a local Hindu leader, said.
