Lal Chand Malhi – a Hindu lawmaker of PTI said that Hindus residing in the capital avoided visiting the site, following the desecration of the boundary wall of the temple. He said that the wall was constructed using the resources of Islamabad Hindu Panchayat and that the work had been temporarily stopped in light of ‘unpleasant incidents’. The lawmaker added that the decision was made by the panchayat in Islamabad on Saturday, in an emergency meeting, following the ‘blasphemous act’.

A number of fatwas were also issued. They demand that a temple should not be built with the government’s money.”
