New Delhi, June 10: New Delhi has strongly condemned the vandalism of a Hindu temple in Karachi, saying that it's another act of systemic persecution of religious minorities in the neighbouring country.
During the daily media briefing, the official spokesperson of the Ministry of External Affairs, Arindam Bagchi, said that India has called upon Pakistan to ensure the safety, security, and well-being of its minority communities.
He said, "We've noted a recent incident of vandalisation of Hindu temple in Karachi. We believe it is another act of systemic persecution of religious minorities. We've conveyed our protest to Pakistan Govt, urging them to ensure safety, security, and well being of its minority communities."
It should be that on 8 June, some Islamist extremists attacked a Hindu temple and a Hindu priest in Pakistan's Karachi. The incident took place at the Korangi Number 5 area of the country's port city. A violent mob attacked the house of the priest and vandalised the idols. No arrests have been made by Pakistan police so far. The idols were brought by the priest a few days ago to be installed in the under-construction temple.
Eyewitnesses said six to eight individuals on motorcycles attacked the complex. "Five to six unknown suspects entered the temple and escaped after vandalising it," said Korangi SHO Farooq Sanjrani.
