Hindu Temples are under attack in Pakistan by fundamental Muslims. Hundreds of temples have been destroyed in Pakistan in last five years very silently.
Land grabbers target Hindu temples in Pak
Input from Kshitiz Singhal and Sumon K Chakrabarti, CNN-IBN || Posted on Apr 01, 2010 at 18:49
New Delhi: Again the fundamentalists in Pak tried to demoralize Hindu Minorities by snatching their religious rights upon the nose of the tall talking of Minority Protection given by thre Pakistan Government. After reports on gurdwara land being sold off to the army at throwaway prices, land grabbers in Pakistan are targeting Hindu temple properties. A Krishna temple was tried to demolish completely and 20 acres surrounding it was encroached illegally by Bashir Khaskheli, leader of a radical organisation, Jeay Sindh. By this time of present Govt. it could not be possible to ensure to protect the minority Temple and churches in Pakistan under the threat perceptions by the majority communities. Hundreds of temples have been destroyed in Pakistan in last five years very silently.
The owners of the land, Padma Puri, who also heads Karachi Panjrapor Welfare Association, was attacked when she resisted the building of boundary walls around the temple and acid was thrown on her body. Padma Puri said, “Some men with masks had acid thrown at me, my body got burnt.”
Padmapuri along with her husband Maharaj Kishan Chand are now fighting a lonely battle and even the Minister of Minority Affairs, Mohan Lal, in Sindh cannot provide them justice.
Maharaj Kishan Chand said, “We are Hindus and injustice is being meted out to us.”
CNN-IBN has documents which show that repeated requests made to the Pakistan Evacuee Trust Property Board has fallen on deaf ears.
In December 2009, CNN-IBN was the first to report on how Pakistan is selling off acres and acres of land that belongs to the country’s minority Sikh community, worth millions, at a throwaway price to the Pakistani army.
Even in the past, many temple lands were grabbed illegally and several attempts made to take the temple’s property back from the land grabbers have met with no success. Most ministers in Pakistan, including Hindu Ministers have refused to help in reclaiming the such land though all this is in clear violation of Pakistan’s own regulations of not putting up for sale the property of any religious place inside the country.
- After publishing the news in CNN-IBN channel in India, various authorities and forums in Pakistan have started their play to sideline the issue in favour of the persecutors to achieve their goals. But everybody knows that there were 1500 big Hindu-Buddhists-Jain-Sikh-Ravidasa temples and shrines before partition of India in 1947. But now the numbers of Temples-Shrines came down to 300 at best as per the available record so far.

Struggle for Hindu Existence 
1. It is no surprise that Pakistan being an Islamic Republic treats Hindu-s and temples/ properties belonging to the Hindu-s as easily grabbable with impunity. This was also allowed in J&K when over 3 lakhs Pandits were ethnic cleansed and driven out or killed, the Muslims occupying most of their assets, businesses and houses with an impotent GOI looking without taking any action.
2. Let us come to India with 80% Hindu population!!
The Andhra Govt. led by Samuel Rajasekhar Reddy grabbed the lands in Hyderabad, owned by the Balaji Temple Trust at Tirupathi and sold them off to Real Estate developers and the deal was worth hundreds of Crores. When the matter was pointed out and became an issue, the concerned Minister was asked to resign by status quo ante was not restored.
Same modus operandi is followed all over India with Christians and Muslims taking over Temple lands and GOI tacitly supporting such moves to deprive the Hindu-s of these temple lands which generate funds for running of temples.
Swami Ramdevji should have the first priority to restore the assets and lands/ buildings belonging to the temples as at the time of Independence and those bought later, to the Hindu Trusts, and demand the State Govts. which have taken away the temple incomes to compensate all such funds used for purposes other than temple expenses since they were taken over by Govt. controls.
Thousands of acres of temple lands in mountainous areas have been taken over by the Missionaries and Christians to be converted to Rubber/ Tea Estates and also Nunneries and Convents.

We must prepare a list of such matters where injustice was made in the name of justice or otherwise to appease the minorities and hand it over to Baba Ramdevji when his party comes to power which at present at least appears to be a foregone conclusion.
