ISLAMABAD:
Pakistan Hindu Council has filed a petition against the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government (KP) for flouting court orders on reconstruction of a Hindu temple in Karak district, as per reports.
On Saturday, Dr Ramesh Kumar, the patron-in-chief of Pakistan Hindu Council, requested the Supreme Court to summon the K-P inspector-general of police and chief secretary and explain why the court’s orders have not been implemented so far.
A shrine (Samadhi) stood on the burial site of a Hindu saint Shri Paramhans Ji Maharaj, who died in Karak in 1919.
His followers used to visit the place to pay their respects until 1997, when some extremists damaged the temple and its grounds were allegedly taken over by a mufti.
