Islamabad: Attacks on Hindus and their temples in Pakistan continue to intensify. The latest case has come to light from Khipro in Sindh, where Hindus worshipping Krishna Janmashtami were attacked by fundamentalist Muslims and statues of Lord Krishna were also demolished. The place is said to be notorious for forced conversions. According to reports, Hindu community members were worshipping their festival Shri Krishna Janmashtami in Pakistan on Monday (August 30th), which angered Muslim fundamentalists.

In Pakistan even false allegation of blasphemy against Islam leads to mob lynching or death sentence but crimes against Non-Muslim Gods goes unpunished pic.twitter.com/I8UlMU5HnL
Shortly thereafter, a crowd of fundamentalists reached the place of worship and thrashed and drove away those who were worshipping Krishna Janmashtami. They then damaged the statue of Lord Krishna. Pictures of the incident are going viral on social media. Pakistani activist and lawyer Rahat Austin tweeted, "A Hindu temple has been ransacked at Khipro in Sindh. The Hindu God has been insulted as they were celebrating Lord Krishna's birthday (Janmashtami). In Pakistan, even false blasphemy charges against Islam carry the sins of mob lynching or death, but there is no punishment for crimes against non-Muslim gods.''
Rahat further wrote, 'I don't know Hinduism deeply. The word "Mandar" means temple. I'm going to post the video I've found where the person reporting the incident says it's a temple. I used the word temporary place of worship for this, but the reporter did not mention it. The funny thing is that both you and I do not live in Pakistan," said Rahat Austin. The reporter lives in Pakistan and was present on the spot when the incident took place.
