Criminal attack
January 1, 2021
December 30, 2020 was a sad day for the patriotic Pakistani Hindu community because a violent mob succeeded in attacking the Teri Temple and Samaadhi (Tomb) located at district Karak, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. This unjustified act is a violation of the constitution of Pakistan, Supreme Court orders, Quaid-e-Azam ’s vision and, most importantly, religious teachings.
Shri Param Hans Ji Maharaj was a God-fearing and kind natured saint. His purpose was to provide spiritual relief to vulnerable and poor people. Due to this fact, his ‘Aashram’ was always full of people seeking eternal peace and spiritual satisfaction. Even after his demise, a large number of his followers, regardless of religious affiliation, used to visit the Samadhi to pay tribute to his selfless and humanitarian services. However, after Partition, the local Hindu population had to migrate from there.
