Pakistan to restore, hand over 400 Hindu temples (IK Great Initiative)

[BATMAN]

I think they Imran Khan wants to give examples to Hindutva lunatics in India how to protect the religious monuments of minority religions. Imran Khan is trying to project tolerant Pakistan compared to intolerant India under Hindutva fanatics.

IK should focus more on ever increasing inflation in Pakistan.

We have alot of people on streets , put a bed in there and tents and move homeless in the homes

This is not a cricket match that he wants to compete with india on everything, he should concentrate more on pakistani problems rather than problems in india.

We can use the Lal Masjid and TLP buildings for that.

Imran need to set his priorities straight.

Being a Muslim I have no objections on returning back worship places of non Muslims, but I am not comfortable with this particular move. The reasons

• Pakistan Hindu community lives in pockets and certain regions and they are not widespread in Pakistan
• Considering their numbers and their locations of residence, Pakistani Hindu community will face problems maintaining these temples, there would again be encroachments and communal problems
• Sikhs in Peshawar have been demanding support and aid for crematory of their own where they can perform their funeral rituals
• I don't want to provide any reason for Indian Hindutva government to point fingers at us

The solution I guess should be, government talking to Pakistani Hindu community and asking them if these sites (where there is no Hindu population) could be handed over to ministry of culture or tourism. That way these sites get preserved and open for tourism.

Those seeking to emulate Riyasat-i-Madinah should not be building temples, encouraging mushrikeen to visit religious sites (like giant buddha) that had long been forgotten and no one had cared about, or selling interest-bearing bonds. "Haraam" is a light word for some of these activities.

When you claim that you are trying to follow the path of the original Islamic state and end up completely going the wrong way and end up facilitating things like shirk which are hated by Allah(swt), don't be surprised when all your plans start falling apart-i.e., inflation, falling exports & tax revenues, etc.

As time passes by, it becomes even more clear to me that pseudo-Islamic governance will never work. Parliamentary democracy, secular & useless judicial system has enabled corruption to eat this country. This system has been an "adhaab" on Pakistan. A single leader with concentrated power and full control over government machinery (call it whatever you like - Ameer or President) is needed. Sharia courts will resolve cases in a single day instead of taking years and bribes.

Waste of public money and resources. Should handover religious sites to Hindu community, if they want they will restore it with private funding.

 

[Jackdaws]

Full marks to your Prime Minister for gamely trying to change the image of Pakistan.

 

[Rusty]

Great move by government.
This is a cost effective way to bringing in tourism money, appease minorities on the country, and project an image of toleratant pakistan, especially when compared to India.

There are almost no downsides here.

Hindu tourist not spend much money like western tourists as indian public is not so rich .It will not provide much benefit but will provoke hindus to capture our lands and reclaim these sites as they will refresh their memories of hindu ruling whole subcontinent before Muslims invaded this region and will strengthen their desire and need of akhand bharat doctrine again

Sometimes I am just amazed. You really think an akhand bharat can happen in this day and age? Its more of a fantasy that some people have of ruling over whole of india by muslims again. Let them deal with the amount of muslims they have there. I dont think they want to get more of us to rule.

 

[Peaceful Civilian]

Good initiative. These are historical places too. It's our responsibility to renovate them and it don't cost lot of money .

 

[Foxtrot Delta]

Ita a goos thing teaching us pakistaniz that forcing islam on others is not the right way. Freedom and liberty are gifts of Allah. Even Allah says do as you please in ur life in end end you shall he judged on ur actions amd choices there is no compulsion or force in religion. Every pakistani is free be it Hindu, Sikh, jew , Christian, Muslim , Alrhiest you are free by Allah's law. Pakistaniz know there is no law bigger than Allah's Law. Free to choose and live .As u want. No compulsion.

Naya pakistan = Freedom As given by Allah.

 

[R Wing]

Can we spend this money on living beings?

Restoring historical sites is our responsibility, plus they’ll have an economic impact in terms of helping with tourism, and of course a geo-political impact in terms of Pakistan’s image.

Just like our nukes, these things eventually dividends in terms of national security --- so spending on them is important, along with human development of course.

I know the signaling behind it, but it’s becoming kinda pathetic now
