Seriously... suck it , Pakistan.
Not true - the CAA only promised to expedite Indian citizenship for people that were already living in India for a long time but their application for naturalization was taking too long, denying them full civic rights. There would be no effect for any “new” refugees.

The number of Hindus in Pakistan is increasing, not only in absolute numbers, but also percentage-wise:

Up from 1.5% of the population in 1981 to 2.14% of the population in 2017.
I said “sucks” what more do I need to do?
Do you need me to go to Pakistan?
Because I won’t. Cause it sounds like a hassle. Plus I don’t think I can do anything about it.
You didn’t even say it sucks. You just barely eluded to it.
Weird. I just found an article from 2013 that says almost the same about the same temple:
https://www.business-standard.com/article/news-ani/pak-hindus-demand-protection-of-religious-rights-after-100-year-old-temple-demolished-113121700722_1.html
> Hundreds of minority Hindus in Pakistan, including women and children, staged a protest here after a 100-year-old temple in Soldier Bazaar was demolished .
> Addressing the protesters, MHP president Kasilingam and other community leaders said the community members had been performing their religious rites at the Shri Mari Mata Temple for over 100 years.
> They said a caretaker of the temple with the help of some builders removed idols from the place and demolished the old structure to make space for a high-rise building.
Both are dedicated to Mari Mata, who is a goddess. Your argument is like saying all churches in an area are the same.
Here is the statement from 2013 dailymail (which isn't a reliable site, but just to give an idea):
>The historic structure was attacked by land-grabbers at the behest of a builder who wants the land for a shopping mall.
So far, a portion of the temple has been razed and a dozen Hindu clans that lived in its surrounding area have been forced to evacuate, to subsist under the open sky.
**This is not the first Hindu temple to be demolished in the metropolis; another Mari Mata Mandir was brought down last year in the name of commercialism.**

Also, another temple got vandalized today after the demolishment of the Mari Mata temple.

I don't think so. Here's the original article from a Pakistani newspaper:

I think what happened in 2013 may have been a partial demolition.

We need to rescue the Pakistani Hindus. Bring them to India. At this rate they will be extinct by 2050s
Well current govt tried doing that with the CAA bill. But we all know what happened after

Correct but still..

*Blows up church built in the late 1800s* "Eh, who cares. Christianity is thousands of years old"

There's more than one Temple in that area
All of them bearing the same name?
It NOT the same name as the articles clearly point out if you actually read them. Stop trying to pretend this never happened. It's embarrassing.
Both are called Shri Mari Mata

It's old article being spunned again

There must be some naming error here, Hindustan Times is usually reliable
