Work begins on first Hindu temple in Islamabad

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.

Pandits are scum of the earth. Don't associate me with them ever again.

Did you miss the hundreds of thousands massacred and driven out of their homes in Jammu in 1947 by the Maharajah and his Hindu forces, prior to the tribal invasion?

Or the occupation and atrocities perpetrated on Kashmiris by an occupying predominantly Hindu India for decades?

As long as the taxpayer isn't funding it - that's fine. Places of worship should be privately funded.

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.

What rights? Hindus are free to pray in their homes. Who is stopping them. Building temples where there are no Hindus is fishy to say the least. It could be a project being sponsored by Indians like they built dozens of consulates in Afghanistan. It is better to be safe than sorry.

1 temple in 73 years makes Islamabad a city of temples? if there are Hindu Pakistanis living in Islamabad, why can't they have a place of worship?

Exactly in India minorities are "others". In Pakistan they are Pakistani.

 

[Ocelot]

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

No, what I mean is they are fake on google maps, they don't exist.

 

[Naofumi]

Why can't they pray at home?

Ask yourself

Ayodya done.

Next stop Kasi, Mathura and Kartarpur.

Shows you who Imran Khan really loves. First, that waste of our tax money on Shirk houses of Sikhs. Now a Hindu temple.

What a disgusting human.

Actually, everything he has done shows what a compassionate and caring individual he is, in line with what Islam teaches us.

Very sad to say that it is views like yours that have tarnished the image of Islam and Muslims globally.

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

Dehli was under Muslim rule for 800 years.
And BTW this building mandir and mandir is symbolic. I don't believe in such things.
I want Pakistan to proceed in a direction where everyone is free to work and live.

Muslims aren't allowed to construct mosques in Europe and America.

Don't know about Europe but there are plenty of mosques in the US, some really nice ones with Islamic architecture and not just a converted building.

Please don't use this forum to spread propaganda and hatred for whatever agenda you have.

All the people opposing the temple are either bigoted or stupid.
People need to look at the bigger picture of where Pakistan is coming from and where it is going, how it is perceived in the wider world and how it is trying to counter that perception.
Since Imran Khan has come to power, the perceptions of both Pakistan and India have changed considerably, for the better in Pakistan's case, for the worse in India's.
What has been the difference? Minority rights.
Pakistan has had to fight hard to reverse it's image as the mothership of terrorism to a progressive inclusive country that treats it's minorities well, regardless of which religion they belong to. It has had to do this to be seen in a good light by the rest of the world and stop the kneejerk opposition it attracts every time Pakistan is mentioned.
Pakistan has succeeded to a great extent but there is a long way to go.
Actions like this will send the right message to the world community and attract investment, tourism and most importantly, goodwill, from foreign governments and people alike, which will in turn help our political, economic and diplomatic standing.

i think govt should first spend this money on covid19 as temple will remain closed until covid19 ends and can be build later

Another gem from Yaseen why am I not surprised

There are no Hindus in Islamabad. Those who are can visit the Indian/Nepalese/Guyana High Commissions on special occasions. This will only promote erosion of your value systems.

Yes there are and they are mainly from Sindh

 

[El Sidd]

Nice to see government exploiting other faiths than just Muslims.

Someone make sure he doesn't get near the Bamiyan Buddha statues.
