The Supreme Court of Pakistan on Monday ordered the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government to immediately start rebuilding a Hindu temple, which was set on fire by a mob in December, reported
The Express Tribune. The court also asked the provincial government to submit a timeline for the completion of the temple in Karak district.
On December 30, a mob led by a local cleric and supporters of a religious political party, attacked the shrine after the Hindu community was granted permission from local authorities to renovate the temple. A first information report was registered against two clerics, identified as Maulana Faizullah and Maulvi Mohammad Sharif, and many unidentified people.
