According to Daily Times, a rally was organised by Jamiat Ulema-e Islam-Fazl (JUI-F), a Sunni Deobandi political party in Pakistan nearby where speakers delivered fiery speeches after which the charged crowd stormed the temple, set it ablaze and razed it to the ground. The report quoted JUI-F KP Amir Maulana Ataur Rahman who said his party has nothing to do with the burning down of the temple as it happened after their party’s rally.
Many videos of the incident have surfaced on social media showing a group of men breaking the walls and roof of the temple, while smoke billows from the structure. It is also being said that local administration and police officials remained silent spectators as the temple was razed to the ground. No case has been registered and neither any arrest made so far in the incident.
The act against Hindu minority community is widely condemned by human rights activists based in Pakistan and other parts of the world.
Shama Junejo, a London-based human rights activist tweeted, “This is new Pakistan! A Hindu Temple was destroyed today in Karak, a city in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, governed by PTI Govt. Police or forces didn’t stop the mob because they were chanting Allah-o-Akbar. A shameful day, Beyond condemnation indeed!”
