The Ministry of External Affairs has conveyed its protest to the Pakistan government, urging it to ensure safety, security and well-being of its minority communities following reports that Shri Mari Mata Mandir in Karachi was vandalised recently.

According to the FIR, five men on motorcycles stopped by the temple late on Wednesday night and inquired about the whereabouts of the caretaker. When two workers renovating the temple said the caretaker wasn’t available, they started pelting an idol with stones.

A case has been registered against the miscreants and the police are trying to obtain CCTV footage of the area to arrest the suspects.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
