The Anjuman Sunnatul Jamaat Association (ASJA) has condemned the recent desecration of a Hindu temple in Curepe.
In a statement this morning, ASJA said it condemned, "this reprehensible action in the strongest terms possible.”
“Our society, built upon the principles of respect, tolerance, and coexistence among various religious communities, cannot tolerate such cowardly acts of vandalism and disrespect towards places of worship," ASJA asserted.
The statement further said: "We stand in solidarity with our Hindu brothers and sisters, and with all those who have been affected by this unfortunate incident. We share in their pain and outrage, and we extend our heartfelt sympathies to them during this difficult time."
At the Bharatiya Vidya Abhyas Mandali temple in Watts Street, Curepe, six murtis were desecrated on Wednesday.
The incident marked yet another in a series of attacks against religious entities and places of worship in recent months.
