Ancient Hindu temple in Pakistan's Sialkot reopens after 72 years

[manlion]

SIALKOT: An ancient Hindu temple in Sialkot in Pakistan's Punjab province has been reopened for worshippers after 72 years on the directives of country's federal government.

Fulfilling the longstanding demand of minority Hindu community, the Shawala Teeja Singh Temple was recently opened and inaugurated according to Hindu traditions, reported The Express Tribune.

"For several years, the Hindu community has been demanding that the temple be opened," said Syed Faraz Abbas, the deputy secretary of the Shrine.

Abbas added that the work on restoring the temple will soon begin after estimating the renovation cost. The idols of Hindu deities will be brought in from India.

The temple had remained closed since the partition and was reopened on the directives of Prime Minister of Pakistan Imran Khan and Evacuee Trust Property Board (EPTB) Chairman Dr Amir Ahmed.

Does not matter. it is a futile exercise and won't change a dime. The world will still keep calling you an intolerant country.

Tell me what do you want to know about that one of 40000 mosques build by destroying the temple?

It was close because Hindus left Sialkot after partition. Now, Hindus have established themselves again in the region and wanted it to open---and we opened it.

Whereas in intolerant india, mosques are destroyed and Muslims are lynched on the regular basis.

Minorities don't face such regular pogroms in Pakistan.

Any source of your "40,000 mosques built after destroying 40,000 temples"??? C'mon, a good and historically validated source will do wonders here.

Otherwise, nobody believes your mythology.

Note: I want a source by well-reputed historian and not rhetoric. Hope you know the difference

I have the sources but it is not from well reputed historians because it was not not published by Haq Musing.
