In protest against the atrocities on minorities and the razing of temples in Pakistan, the members of the Minorities cell of the state BJP burned the effigy of the Pakistan government at Lansdowne chowk on Sunday. The protesters were led by the deputy chairman of the Prime Minister’s 15 point programme implementation committee, Shadab Shams.
Speaking on the occasion Shams said that on the orders of the Pakistan Supreme Court construction of the temple was going on at the memorial of Sant Param Hans but the manner in which the temple was raged and burned shows that the democracy is in shambles in Pakistan. He said that minorities particularly Hindus are specially targeted in Pakistan. “We have assembled here to show our solidarity with the Hindus of Pakistan. We request that PM Narendra Modi should raise the issue at international forums and expose Pakistan,’’ he said.
The state general secretary of BJP Gulfam Sheikh, Javed Alam, Hazi Salim Ahmed, Nadeen Jaidi and others were present on the occasion.
