A Muslim mob attacked a Hindu temple in the Punjab province of Pakistan, burning down parts of it and damaging idols. After the failure of the police, the Pakistan Rangers have been called to control the situation.
According to the official report, police stated that the mob attacked the Hindu temple at Bhong city of Rahim Yar Khan District, some 590 km from Lahore, in reaction to the alleged desecration of a Muslim seminary.
An eight-year-old Hindu boy last week had allegedly urinated at a library of the seminary in the area that caused tensions in Bhong, where Muslims and Hindus have been living peacefully for decades. Ruling Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf parliamentarian Dr Ramesh Kumar Vankwani posted videos of the temple attack on his Twitter wall, requesting law enforcement agencies to rush to the spot to stop its “burning and vandalising”.
In a series of tweets, he quoted- “Attack on Hindu temple at Bhong City District Rahimyar Khan Punjab. The situation was tense since yesterday. Negligence by local police is very shameful. Chief Justice is requested to take action. Strict action must be taken against those who attacked the Hindu temple at Bhong. In contact with higher authorities. The situation is very critical right now. Chief Justice is requested to take action, please. Interfaith harmony is need of time.”
According to District Police Officer (DPO) Rahim Yar Khan Asad Sarfraz, the law enforcement agencies have controlled the situation and managed to disperse the mob.
