Karachi, July 17, 2023 (PPI-OT): Karachi Mayor Barrister Murtaza Wahab as well as Sindh government have brushed aside the propaganda about 0demolition of a temple in the city saying that the temple is ‘intact’ there. Murtaza Wahab in response to the rumors being circulated by some hostile quarters tweeted: “[I] have checked. No such demolition of the Mandir has taken place and Mandir is still intact”.
“The administration has intervened and Hindu Panchayat has been asked to assist police in ascertaining the true facts. I will keep everyone posted on this. The Pakistan People’s Party stands with people of all communities.” Meanwhile, taking notice of the rumors surrounding the 150-year-old Mari Mata Temple in Soldier Bazaar, the Sindh government also contested the claim about demolition of the temple. It ordered police and local administration to stop construction or demolition work at the piece of land that housed the century-old temple.
After an initial probe, the police said that Ms Rekha claimed to have owned the piece of land and the Hindu temple was built on a portion of the said plot. “And that too was moved from the said property to an adjacent small room several years ago,” said an official.
