Pakistan: Hindus Allowed To Build Long-stalled Krishna Temple

Pakistan's state-run Council of Islamic Ideology (CII) has allowed Hindus to build the long-stalled Krishna Temple in Islamabad. The cleric council had earlier issued a fatwa against the construction after the Islamabad Hindu Panchayat approached the government with a demand of donation for building the temple. Lal Chand Malhi, the ruling party's assembly member, said that the temple premise will have a community centre and cremation ground for Hindus.
