Narowal: (RightNow). The truth about the historic Hindu temple in Siraj village has emerged. Provincial Minister for Minority Affairs Ramesh Singh Arora states that claims of demolishing the 100-year-old Hindu temple are baseless. The building was damaged by rain.

Ramesh Singh Arora confirms that the temple land in Narowal has not been leased to anyone. Immediate restoration and repair efforts for the dilapidated temple have commenced.

He emphasizes the importance of distinguishing between allegations, claims, and facts in media reports. Broadcasting unverified news about religious sites is irresponsible and harms Pakistan’s global reputation.

The provincial minister asserts that under Maryam Nawaz Sharif’s leadership, the Punjab government protects minority rights. Master planning for minority worship places is ongoing across Punjab under the Chief Minister’s vision.

It is noteworthy that restoration work is underway for 50 gurdwaras, 15 temples, and over 100 churches across the province. The Punjab government’s top priority is the protection of minority sacred sites.
