A self-proclaimed Muslim cleric have seized a century old historic Shiv temple located in Pawaldass compound of Lyari town, Karachi, Sindh province. This Shiv
temple has been turned into a slaughter area by local butchers. (Ref: The News)
Shocking facts
"They have erased the pictures of Hindu deities from the tiles of the temple, and forced Hindu worshippers to move to a small nearby room, where not more than two people can worship at a given time." - Iqbal Haider, general secretary of the HRCP Baghdadi police reportedly allow the Muslims to slaughter the cows inside the compoundâs walls to insult Hindu religion and scare the community. Whenever there are any Hindu religious ceremonies, like Holy, Deewali, Janam Ashtmi or the birthday of Shiva Jee, inside the compound, the Muslim extremists throw stones and filth to stop the functions and the police do not intervene at all to stop these acts. Several Hindu girls have been reportedly raped within the compound but the Baghdadi police showed no willingness to register the cases. According to the All Pakistan Minority Alliance, this year has already seen roughly 25 girls from the Hindu community allegedly forced to convert to Islam in the province of Sindh. The method of choice to convert the girls who are abducted is to have them marry within the Muslim community.
The concerned compound is exclusively earmarked for Hindu families by the Sindh provincial government under the Evacuee Property Act 1957 but land grabbers have been forcibly evicting residents in this compound with the help of Baghdadi police in Kakri ground, Lyari town. As a result of this the number of families
have decreased to 35.
A petition.... ......... ......... ..We demand that -
1. The encroachment should be evicted and the temple be handed over to the Hindu families who have been living there.
2. The sanctity of the temple be reinstated and made suitable for worship of Hindus.
3. Those involved in this dastardly act be punished.
4. Protection should be granted to the temple to prevent recurrences of such instances.
5. The Pakistan Government to intervene in this matter and see that atrocities against Hindus are stopped and respect given to Hindus.
6. The Indian Government to lodge their protest against this and protect the rights and respect of the Hindus in Pakistan.

<b>Temple turns into slaughterhouse</b>
KARACHI: The Human Rights Commission of Pakistan strongly condemned the encroachment of the premises of the Hindu temple located at Pawaldass Compound in Lyari that has been turned into a slaughter area by local butchers.
Residents of the area have brought to the attention of HRCP the fact that butchers are turning the compound on which a temple is situated into a slaughter area, says a statement released by the organisation on Monday.
Confirming the veracity of the complaint made by the Hindu community, the HRCP says that this action is not only illegal, but has provoked the sensitivities of Hindus. They have demanded the Sindh government and the City Nazim take immediate action against this encroachment to protect the rights of the Hindus and in the larger interest of communal harmony.
In a letter addressed to the provincial government, HRCP draws immediate attention regarding the Baghdadi policeâs alleged collaboration with the alleged perpetrators in a series of attacks on over 100 Hindu families living in the century old residential compound in Lyari town of Karachi.
According to the information received by Muhammad Ejaz Ahsan, Program Coordinator HRCP, the concerned compound is exclusively earmarked for Hindu families by the Sindh provincial government under the Evacuee Property Act 1957 but land grabbers have been forcibly evicting residents in this compound with the help of Baghdadi police in Kakri ground, Lyari town. As a result of this the number of families have decreased to 35.
Mr. Ahsan was also informed that Baghdadi police were themselves involved in helping the Muslim land grabbers by allegedly forcing the Hindu residents to sign on the residential document in exchange for a very small amount, which subsequently gives the right of using the land to the land grabbers.
âIt is shocking to learn that the Baghdadi police reportedly allowed the Muslims to slaughter the cows inside the compoundÃs walls that is an insult Hindu religion and also took over the Shiv Mander temple and transformed it into a place for Muslim worship,â said Mr. Ahsan
On behalf of HRCP, he urged the Government of Pakistan to strictly enforce the laws to protect rights of religious minorities and take strong measures against law enforcement officials who collaborate with the alleged perpetrators and fail to take proper action into the concerned cases.
