Bilawal said,” Religious tolerance is part of our region's traditions and these ‘expressions of intolerance’ are against our civilization.

PPP leader said, “Protection of minorities is the primary responsibility of the state as the administration was nowhere to be seen when extremists were attacking the temple. Insult to Hindu community not only hurt members of Hindu community but also increases insecurity among them.’

MoHR in touch with RYK police since yesterday to ensure action against perpetrators - got a report - following up - our Parliamentary Secretary going to visit today.”
