Minister for religious affairs Ejazul Haq rejected Indian opposition leader Lal Krishna Advani&#8217;s statement on the demolition and challenged his remarks that minorities in Pakistan did not have religious freedom. &#8220;The Krishna Mandir is in perfect condition. I invite L.K. Advani to visit Lahore and pray at the temple,&#8221; the Daily Times quoted Mr. Haq as telling reporters yesterday during a visit to Krishna Mandir on the Ravi Road. He said Rs 700,000 (US$11,600) was spent on the renovation of Krishna Mandir a few months ago, adding that irresponsible statements by the Indian leadership could affect the ongoing peace process between the two countries.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>www.uniindia.com ISLAMABAD, PAKISTAN, June 16, 2006: Pakistan has denied reports that the Krishna Mandir in Lahore has been demolished to,&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6187","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6187","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6187"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6187\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6187"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6187"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6187"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
