In Pakistan, Hindu temples and Sikh gurdwaras are left in a state of abandonment and often illegally appropriated by a “land mafia,” notwithstanding the government’s promises that they should be protected and cared for.

This is the conclusion of the seventh report by the One-Man Commission on Minority Rights, Dr. Shoaid Suddle, submitted to the Supreme Court of Pakistan on February 5.

The One-Man Commission was established by the same Supreme Court, and Dr. Suddle is supported by two members of the National Assembly of Pakistan and by the deputy attorney general.
