Hindu community celebrated Holi with zeal
KARACHI: Pakistan’s Hindu community like other parts of the world celebrated their festival Holi with great fervour and zeal.
The colourful festival of Holi is celebrated on Phalgun Purnima--a full moonlit night, which falls in February end or early March. Holi festival has an ancient origin and celebrates the triumph of ‘good’ over ‘evil’ forces.
Karachi also celebrated Holi festival with great enthusiasm. Men, women and children from the Hindu community worshipped at the different temples here including Shri Punch Mukhi Hanuman and Shri Ratan Das Mahadev, lit Holi bonfires at the temples and rubbed its ashes at the foreheads believing it would protect them from disease and epidemics. Thereafter busting into hilarity, they splashed colours on each other’s faces dousing all in multi-colour soon.
The participants in this Hindu festivity told that they have all the freedom to celebrate their festivals in Pakistan. They especially thanked the Pakistan government and the people for participating in the events and for providing the best facilities on this occasion.

Hindus protest for Luxmi Narain Temple
Staff Report
KARACHI: A large number of Hindus protested outside the press club Sunday for the Luxmi Narain Temple under the KPT Overhead Bridge which they claimed has been partly demolished.
The protest was led by ex-MNA Dr Khatumal Jeewan, PPP minority wing President Prof. Anwar Lal Din and the Mandir Bacho Committee’s Ashok Jethmalani.
It is difficult to understand that in our beloved country, whose founders promised greater protection for minorities, things going in the opposed direction, the protestors claimed.
The Luxmi Narain Temple, which is popularly known as the Netty Jetty (Native Jetty) Mandir is perhaps one of the most revered places in the city for poor Hindus who cannot take their mortal remains to the River Ganges.
The protestors said that the Karachi Port Trust (KPT) plans to build near the mandir with the help from a foreign investor. The Hindu and Scheduled Castes communities were also against the alleged demolition of the mandir.
