Revered Hindu temple demolished in Pakistan for building coffee house

Revered Hindu temple demolished in Pakistan for building coffee house


In another display of open hostility towards minority communities, reports suggest that Pakistan has demolished a revered Hindu temple located in Mithi, Sindh province.

The authorities in the Tharparkar district cited a court order as the basis for the demolition of Hinglaj Mata Mandir.

Shockingly, despite an existing Supreme Court order prohibiting it, the demolition was approved. Allegedly, this action was taken to clear the space for a coffee house scheduled to be inaugurated later this month.

This temple’s demolition is not the only incident but part of a broader pattern of Pakistan’s intolerance towards religious minorities. Another targeted structure was a section of the Sharda Peeth Mandir near the Line of Control, the de facto border between India and Pakistan.
