Hindu in Pakistan turn protest to war.

Hindus in Pakistan’s restive Khyber Pakhtunkhwa have decided to pardon the mob that vandalised and burned down a century-old temple in the province.

Local clerics and members of the Hindu community held a meeting on Saturday to resolve the dispute.

According to the dialogue, informally called jigra, the accused have tendered an apology over the attack and a similar incident in 1997. The Muslim clerics have assured full protection to the Hindus and their rights in accordance with the country’s Constitution.

A reconciliation statement from the meeting would be presented to the Supreme Court in a bid to secure the release of the accused from detention.
