Work begins on first Hindu temple in Islamabad

[ejaz007]

Government is not building this temple. And land for this temple was allotted in 2017 to Hindu panchayat

First in capital Islamabad

Not first Hindu temple in Islamabad. There are already more than one in Islamabad. One in Saidpur, one perhaps near Golra Mor and one near Kuri. Also there was one near rawal lake. Although I do not know if these are still used for worshiping.

At least we are constructing.

So what? Delhi the capital of India has hundreds of Masjids.

I dont think there are any hindus in islamabad area. This is just a stupid gimmick by this incompetent govt. This money could well have been spent on otjer important stuff. If the govt cares that much about minorities then help the poor hindus in sindh and thar. With every passing day PTI is becoming a joke and we r realizing they are bigger morons than PMLN and PPP.

You are the same muslim who will say Mashallah when mosque are opening in Europe but calls for oppressing minorities in your own land.

And then you say why you are called a fanatic.


There are urban Pakistani Hindus (Khatris) but yeah, the numbers are very low.

Why can't they pray at home?

If you muslims don't allow freedom of religion In muslim majority countries then don't expect Europe, India and other non muslim countries to accomodate muslims.

Addressing the gathering, Mr. Malhi said there were several pre-1947 era temple structures in Islamabad and its adjoining areas, including one at Saidpur village and at the hill point overlooking the Korang river near Rawal lake. However, they have been abandoned and not used.

rest of the 'mandirs' are fake and probably created by Indians.

Are you implying that temples are being used for spying and other anti-Pakistan activities like their embassies?

Why can't muslims pray at home and need masjids in Europe and America?

When Europe and America will ban masjid you will be the first to yell intolerance

The responsibility for uplift in Sindh and Thar lies with the PPP government.

The Federal Government funds projects in the ICT, which is where this proposed temple is.

I am may be wrong but my understanding is that Hindus are not required to go to temples to pray. That is what my Hindu friends tell me. They never go to temples.

 

[Longhorn]

The temple is probably being privately funded. All the news article says is that the land was alloted by the government.

I too didnt know there were many Hindus in Islamabad, but then again, how many do there need to be to justify a temple?

Excellent step


I think in some other thread one poster mentioned that just like Faisal mosque Islamabad should also have an iconic church with Roman style architecture and a Hindu temple with ancient Hindu architecture. Not only it'll be a tourist attraction it will also project the soft image of Pakistan. Somethings don't make a lot of logical sense but they are good for marketing. Isloo might not have a lot of Hindus but Pakistan can tell the world that while India is burning mosques in their capital and we are building temples in ours. Kabhi dil ke bajai dimag se bhi soch liya karo meray Pakistaniyon.

You are a Indian muslim. Maybe you got screwed by a Hindu and now youre letting your frustration out in the digital world. I realised this long time back.

You are a Buddhist. Why are you representing Hindus?

You are no VIP to advice anyone on what to do. I thought kashmiri muslims are tolerant considering the fact that you guys lived with Pandits for centuries.

I am not representing hindus. I am against any country which does not give rights to minorities. In this case many people are complaining why hindus are making temples. So I am showing my opinion.
