The endorsement by the radical Islamist preacher comes in the light of the Chief Minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Mahmood Khan saying that his government would rebuild the Hindu temple using provincial government funds.
Earlier in July 2020, the controversial Islamist preacher had voiced against the Pakistani government’s move of allowing to construct a Hindu temple near Islamabad when he said that the Imran Khan government has committed a grave sin (haram) as Sharia (Islamic law) does not allow for an Islamic nation to pay or donate to a place of worship of other religions, be it a temple or a church.
