Lahore, Sept 27 (ANI): A temple in Lahore has become the centre of feud between the Hindus and the Christians. While both the communities claim full rights over the temple, with each putting forth arguments in its favour, the Christian converts (Hindus who converted to Christianity) currently assume control of the temple site.
The ancestors of the Balmiki Christians, who currently have possession of the temple, converted to Christianity from Hinduism about 30 years ago, but are still affiliated with the Swami Balmiki, for whom the temple was built.
They maintain that they have full rights to the temple despite being Christians, and will not give it up, reported the Daily Times.
Conversely, the Hindu Sudhar Sabha, an association of city's Hindu population, has alleged that the Christian caretakers harass them and prevent them from worshipping in the temple. They claim that their actions have made the temple the site of a hub of activities that are against the respect of the temple. However, the Christians claim that they do not want any 'occupier' to intervene in the internal affairs of the temple, added the paper.
