Hindu Temple razed in Imran Khan's fiefdom

In yet another proof of the threat being faced by minorities in Imran Khan's Pakistan, a video has emerged of a Hindu temple being razed by a mob in the Karak district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.

Imran Khan's Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf is in power in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.

This is the second time that the temple has been demolished. Radical Islamists had pulled down the temple in 1997. The century-old temple had been recently restored following an order from the country's Supreme Court in 2015. 

Here's a video shot by a village resident, which shows a crowd breaking apart blocks of the temple structure's walls using stones and sledgehammers even as dark smoke billowed.
