In a press statement, Surendar Valasai said the PPP had always led the struggle for minority rights and it was the only political party where people from minority community enjoyed equal rights in its ranks and file.
He said the PPP won’t allow any damage or harm to the Clifton temple and its structure under any circumstances. However, he urged those criticising the issue to wait for the technical aspect of the development work and its impact on the temple structures.

He said an elected representatives belonging to the Hindu community including the PPP minority wing Sindh president Dr Lalchand Ukrani, ministers and MPAs had visited the said temple twice and will furnish their report to party leadership.
