Pakistan's supreme court has ordered the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government to get a Hindu temple restored and reconstructed after it was 'dismantled' in 1997 and later occupied by a cleric.

Lawmaker Dr Ramesh Kumar Vankwani, patron of the Pakistan Hindu Council, had asked the court to intervene into the frequent desecration of Hindu temples, including occupation of Shri Paramhans Ji Maharaj's Samadhi in Teri village in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa's Karak district by a cleric.

Vankwani said the provincial chief secretary, the inspector general of police and the local commissioner informed him that the Hindu notable in whose name the temple was built had converted to Islam.
