Minorities under attack in Pakistan - A Muslim youth desecrate Hindu temple

A temple in Pakistan was desecrated by a Muslim youth on late Wednesday evening. 

President of Pakistan Hindu Seva Trust, Sanjesh Dhanja informed TOI over phone from Karachi on Thursday that a commerce postgraduate youth Lutaf Allaha broke the idols placed inside the Hinglaj Mata Circuit House Temple in Hyderabad city of Pakistan, about 2 hours' drive from Karachi on late Wednesday evening. 

Reportedly the incident is believed to be of hate crime against Hindu minority community of Pakistan backed by fundamentalist groups. 

Dhanja informed that police had arrested Lutaf Allaha who had been sent on three day police remand. 

The accused broke the idols of Shiva and Parvati placed in the temple, he said. 

While hailing the quick police action in nabbing the person for his blasphemous act , he said "We are happy that police immediately swung into action and nabbed the culprit". 

He said despite quick police action , there was much resentment among the Hindu community of Pakistan that had decided to stage demonstration against the desecration of Hindu temple. 

"Tomorrow we will hold demonstration at Hyderabad and would demand security of Hindu temples" he said . 

In recent past Pakistan government had announced to form a 2000 strong force to protect the religious places of minority communities in Pakistan.
