[PradoTLC]

Pakistan also built this one ................................

Pakistan prepares to reopen Kartarpur Corridor by June 29

it is an improvement over the existing structure.. that is fine... the new ones i have issues with

if you have to improve minorities' conditions, why not christians. South asian christians have no country of their own and they never killed muslims or opposed Pakistan.

i agree and they have been very loyal

With hindus and sikhs, there is a history of violence. in india, they have never accepted Pakistan's existence; hence, wasting time on them is your choice.

if you have to improve minorities' conditions, why not christians. South asian christians have no country of their own and they never killed muslims or opposed Pakistan.

Again you are confusing religion and nationality. The ones who did the killing are in india. The ones living in Pakistan are not. They are loyal to Pakistan. They are Pakistani citizens. There are Hindus and sikhs serving in the Pakistan army. There are even Christians serving as well. All of them are loyal to Pakistan and are ready to defend Pakistan.

Not at all. We are arguing on a useless point.

Hindu identity is undeniably linked to india as jewish identity is linked to israel. Our conflict is still going on and might intensify with the hindutva establishment in india who want hindutva rule on all south asia. Hence we are justified in viewing hindu religion itself as a hostile ideology no matter where it exists.

If you reach out to hindus, it practically means you are pandering to hindutvas in india.

Useless debate.

You say that you are not basing your hate for hindu because of nationality but then you link hating india with hindu.

By your logic if an indian Muslim comes to kill us, we shouldn't do anything because he is a Muslim. We should only target hindus and sikhs. So what should we do with hindus and sikhs who are serving in pakistan army? By your logic we should kill them. Apparently hindus, Sikhs, Christians, ahmandi, etc who are serving in our military, and have openly declared to defend all Pakistanis regardless of religion should be locked up.

Very well said. They are all Pakistani and we salute them......

 

[krash]

I as a Pakistani citizen, strongly oppose this move.

They as Pakistani citizens do not need your approval. They will get their rights.

1 million muslims were killed by hindus and sikhs and more are being killed everyday

You want to punish those who did nothing for the crimes of those who live in another country? I don't see you accepting the hate that is thrown towards us by the west for what ISIS did.

If they had to do politics on this religious issue, why not build a large church for our christian minority who didn't kill a million muslims and in fact serve with loyalty in our armed forces.

Politics or not this is a birth right of Pakistani Hindus. There are two Churches in Islamabad for our Christian brothers and sisters. If they need more, then let's build more. However, that Church has no right over the temple, neither does a mosque.

PS: Hindus serve in the Pakistani armed forces as well.

no new hindu temples should be allowed and certainly not with grant money.

It is their right as Pakistanis, no one can take it from them.

never seen any pm of Pakistan giving money for construction of temple.

There's a first time for every good thing.

he is more worried about false flags,about modi, about India. come on! you are prime minister of Pakistan and Pakistan has huge Muslim population.corruption is same,no money is coming back from foreign countries and same poverty,unemployment.

None of that takes away the right of Hindu Pakistanis to have their own place of worship in the capital.

Pakistan is playing for optics when clearly country is not ready for it.

At the very least our discussions revolve around building places of worship, not tearing them down and killing the worshippers.

in india, they have never accepted Pakistan's existence; hence, wasting time on them is your choice.

Then we should make sure that we are not building them temples in India. That's quite easy to do.

if you have to improve minorities' conditions, why not christians. South asian christians have no country of their own and they never killed muslims or opposed Pakistan.

It's not a zero sum game. That is a nonsensical argument.

Hindu identity is undeniably linked to india

Well the Pakistani Hindus are undeniably proof to the contrary.

Hence we are justified in viewing hindu religion itself as a hostile ideology no matter where it exists.

You are not justified in viewing any religion as hostile, let alone another Pakistani's.

Wow.... Just by reading the posts in this thread I realised the situation of Hindus in Pakistan... They can't even have a place of worship... This is what happens when Islam is in majority... They cry for secularism when in minority and implement shariya when in majority...

And yet the temple is getting built and Hindus will worship there, free of any fear for their lives.

Oh cute. Do you even know how many mosques get built in a day in India? Do you know how many mosques are there in India? I guess it is more than in your country

And yet you kill your minorities every day. There wasn't ever any doubt as to who's playing for optics.

 

[achhu]

I as a Pakistani citizen, strongly oppose this move. 1 million muslims were killed by hindus and sikhs and more are being killed everyday and yet there is no partition monument to remember their sacrifice? But this mandir is being constructed.

If they had to do politics on this religious issue, why not build a large church for our christian minority who didn't kill a million muslims and in fact serve with loyalty in our armed forces.

The Khan govt ministers could have called ambassadors of christian countries and people like Brigadier (r) Samson if they wanted a photo op.

i respect your feelings .
man you take your jazia and allow construction of mandir .even aurangjeb allowed maintenance of old temples, though he demolished many .

PM approves grant for construction of Hindu temple in Islamabad

Prime Minister Imran Khan has given a verbal approval.

ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Imran Khan has approved a grant of Rs100 million for the construction of the first Hindu temple in the capital.

The request for the grant of the amount was made to the prime minister by Minister for Religious Affairs Pir Noorul Haq Qadri during a meeting with the prime minister.

The meeting was also attended by a delegation of MNAs belonging to religious minorities including Lal Chand Malhi, Dr Ramesh Vankwani, Jai Prakash Ukrani, Shunila Ruth and James Thomas.

The delegation discussed the issues faced by religious minorities and lauded the efforts of civil and armed forces in crushing the terrorist networks across the country who had been targeting people of other faiths as part of their extremist agenda.

The delegation sought the support of the government for the construction of first temple in the capital. The prime minister gave verbal approval.

The minister for religious affairs told Dawn that the summary in this regard had already been sent to the PM Secretariat.

“We will pursue the matter with the PM Secretariat and it is expected that it will be signed next week,” the minister said.

As per the official procedure, the copy of approval will be sent to the finance ministry for allocation of grant while construction work will be executed by Pak-PWD.

Meanwhile, Lal Chand Malhi said the Hindu population in Islamabad had reached to around 3,000, which included government employees, private sector employees, members of the business community and a large number of doctors.

“While the official formalities are underway, we have decided to continue the initial ground works including the levelling of the land and erecting the boundary wall,” Mr Malhi added.

Hindu Panchayat Islamabad will manage the Shri Krishna Mandir. The Panchayat’s president, Mahesh Chaudhry, said a large number of people from various parts of the country, including Balochistan and Sindh, had shifted to Islamabad, mainly due to insecurity in those areas.

“Now when we have families here, there is a need for a crematorium, a place for collective prayers and marriage ceremonies,” Mr Chaudhry said, adding that “currently, we hold Holi and Diwali functions in government’s community halls or marquee.”

Though there will be a place for Hindus to exercise their rituals in the near future, to solemnise marriage is legally not possible in Islamabad as there are no officially notified rules and regulations regarding Hindu Marriage Law 2017, even three years after the law was enacted.

You say that you are not basing your hate for hindu because of nationality but then you link hating india with hindu.

By your logic if an indian Muslim comes to kill us, we shouldn't do anything because he is a Muslim. We should only target hindus and sikhs. So what should we do with hindus and sikhs who are serving in pakistan army? By your logic we should kill them. Apparently hindus, Sikhs, Christians, ahmandi, etc who are serving in our military, and have openly declared to defend all Pakistanis regardless of religion should be locked up.

Believe what you wish. Facts are facts. I believe in the two nation theory.

Pakistan was freed from 'Hindus' of india. Hindu = india no matter where they exist. If an indian muslim abuses Pakistan, sharpest of replies should be given. But an indian muslim is a minority and is a mere subject of the hindu raj.

in my opinion recruitment of hindus in armed forces is a direct security risk. India also recruits only hindus and sikhs from jammu to police all kashmir. We should do the same.

thanks.

They as Pakistani citizens do not need your approval. They will get their rights.

True. And I have the right to freedom of expression.

You want to punish those who did nothing for the crimes of those who live in another country? I don't see you accepting the hate that is thrown towards us by the west for what ISIS did.

West clearly calls them and their supporters radical islamic terrorists. And we fully acknowledge that there are islamic extremists in our midst. Theres a history of hindus killing muslims hence the hostility.

Politics or not this is a birth right of Pakistani Hindus. There are two Churches in Islamabad for our Christian brothers and sisters. If they need more, then let's build more. However, that Church has no right over the temple, neither does a mosque.

PS: Hindus serve in the Pakistani armed forces as well.

An absolute security risk. India recruits only sikhs and hindus from jammu and kashmir which is a muslim majority land. We should do the same.

It's not a zero sum game. That is a nonsensical argument.

Facts are facts. Hindus committed a genocide against muslims and hence the animosity will never go away. Pakistani Christians did not.

Well the Pakistani Hindus are undeniably proof to the contrary.

Not at all, they are what was left behind. You can call them indians in Pakistan. Just as biharis are called Pakistanis in Bangladesh.

You are not justified in viewing any religion as hostile, let alone another Pakistani's.

Justification stems from hindutva ideology. An ideology that calls for an elimination of islam and muslims. Hindu is the primary enemy of islam and muslims no matter where it exists. It should be our foremost target.

We shall never forget the blood of our innocents.

thanks.

I think he might have thought that building temple is needed to treat corona virus patients in Pakistan

i like your honesty .

I agree

no new hindu temples should be allowed and certainly not with grant money.

however existing damaged one should be restored.

why not from grant money ? hindus are not paying tax ?

Not at all. We are arguing on a useless point.

so your point is unless hindustan becomes muslim this problem will never end.

 

[Pakistani Fighter]

LOL How many mosques in Islamabad have been built by the Government?

 

[Yaseen1]

govt has no money for helping poor kashmiris whose houses are destroyed by indian army and are wasting money on temples,this govt end is near if they continue to compromise national interest of Pakistan,why not he announced building houses in Islamabad for kashmiris families who are affected by indian terrorism in kashmir before they made this decision,these traitors not deserve to rule Pakistan

 

[PakFactor]

Fita Mo on this PM pan di siri, jahil fucking moron.

 

[Signalian]
