Temple demolition AFP, Peshawar AFP, Peshawar
A Hindu temple in Pakistan destroyed by a Muslim mob last week will be rebuilt using provincial government funds, its information minister said yesterday.
Around 1,500 people descended on the temple in a remote village of northeast Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province after protesting against renovations being made to an adjoining building owned by a Hindu group.
They used sledgehammers to knock down walls before setting the building ablaze. We regret the damage caused by the attack, said Kamran Bangash, the provincial information minister.
Construction will start as soon as possible with the support of the Hindu community, he said, adding security would be provided at the site.

The protest against temple demolition saw the participation of many women and children.
AMRITSAR: Hindu men, women, and children from all walks of life staged a protest in Karachi on Thursday against the demolition of a Hindu temple in Karak district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK) province on Wednesday. This incident would have never happened if the then administration had given exemplary punishment to the miscreants who had earlier made a similar attempt in 1997, said Ramesh Kumar Vankwani, patron-in-chief of Pakistan Hindu Council and member of National Assembly.
