Historic Hindu temple demolished in Pakistan : Not a day goes by in Pakistan when there is no oppression of Hindus, Sikhs and Christians living there.
Demolition of Hindu temples and Gurudwaras has become a very common thing in Pakistan. Another historic temple in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province has been demolished and construction of a commercial building has started there. This temple was closed since 1947. The people monitoring him left Pakistan and went to India.
Known as the Khyber Temple, this temple was located in the border area Landi Kotal Bazaar and gradually lost its identity. According to the available details, the construction of a new building has started here after demolishing the temple 10 to 15 days ago. Tantra has denied the existence of any such temple and has said that whatever construction is being done is according to the rules.
However, local journalist Ibrahim Shinwari has proudly said that there was a historical temple here and it was built right in the middle of the city. The temple was closed after the family that looked after it left. When the Babri Masjid was demolished in 1992, some local people attacked the temple and damaged it. I have heard many things about this temple from my ancestors. There is no doubt that there was a temple here known as the Khyber Temple.
Pakistan's English newspaper has quoted a local official as saying that there is no mention of the temple in the local land records. We have no information about the temple being demolished. All the land of this market belonged to the government.
