ISLAMABAD, 15 March, 2021, (TON): The Hindu community in Pakistan's restive KPK has decided to exculpate the horde that vandalized and torched an extremely old sanctuary in the area.

The local clerics and members of the Hindu community held a meeting on Saturday in order to sort out the problem.

As per the dialogue, informally called 'Jirga', 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 as per the country's Constitution.

A compromise proclamation from the meeting would be introduced to the Supreme Court, in an offer to get the release of the accused from detainment.
