SHIKARPUR/KARACHI: A huge rift over the alleged desecration of a holy book was averted in Shikarpur after two groups belonging to the Hindu and Sikh minorities reached a compromise.
However, the Sikhs, who are a smaller minority in Shikarpur, reported being threatened by local Hindus in the area.
The incident caused an uproar after Sikh students shared pictures of a recently held four-day mela (festival) in Jai Samadha Ashram in Shikarpur where the head of the Hindu temple was seen holding the Guru Granth Sahib (Holy book of Sikhs) bare-headed.
But in others, he was photographed drawing signs and symbols on the holy book.
The temple, housing both Geeta and Guru Granth Sahib for decades, is the most frequented place of worship for both religious communities.
