Islamabad, Nov 24: Pakistan has always failed to protect the interests of minorities in the country. In yet another instance of targeting Hindu places of worship, the Pakistan government has demolished the Hinglaj Mata Mandir (temple) in Sindh province as well as the Sharda Peeth Mandir (temple) near the Line of Control.
Taking to Twitter, former Pakistan cricketer Danish Kaneria, said, "Pakistani authorities continue crackdown on Hindu religious places. Following an order of the anti-encroachment court Mirpurkhas, Hinglaj Mata Mandir has been demolished in Mithi, Tharparkar, Pakistan."

The officials in the Tharparkar District cited a court order to justify the demolition of Hinglaj Mata Mandir in the city of Mithi. Speaking of Sharda Peeth Mandir, the encroachment took place despite a standing Supreme Court order aimed at protecting the temple. Notably, it has been recognised as a UNESCO site.
And this is despite of PoK (AJK)supreme court judgement on encroachments to Sharda peeth.Our 73 kanals of land(known unofficially)are reduced to mere 10 kanals at present.High time that @UNESCO & AJK Archeology and tourism deptt.takes cognizance & civil society protects this… pic.twitter.com/BHPU0qVSy4

Locals have stated that the Pakistan Army have constructed a coffee house near the temple. They are strongly protesting against this development.
And these Pak army crooks have even constructed a coffee Hut over our Sharda peeth boundary recently.

Hindu community has faced persistent challenges, including targeted violence, killings, and encroachments on their lands. Local involvement in these acts, often followed by government endorsement, has been a recurring pattern. And, such incidents underscore the ongoing persecution faced by Hindus in the country.
