GUWAHATI: Patriotic People’s Front Assam (PPFA), a northeast India based forum of nationalists insists on revitalizing Hinglaj Mata Mandir, a Shakti Peeth connected to Kamrup Kamakhya legends and urge the Union government in New Delhi to pursue the Balochistan authority for necessary measures.
Mentionable is that Hinglaj temple in a mountain cave on the bank of Hingol river inside Hingol National Park, which is adjacent to the Makran coast of Arabian Sea in the south-west of Pakistan, is a revered place for Hindus and thousands gather there to pray in front of Mother Goddess Shakti with rituals.
In a recent conversation with the scribes at Guwahati Press Club through video conferencing, Baloch nationalist leader Hyrbyair Marri mentioned about the temple, which is presently in a deplorable condition due to unwanted interferences of the Pakistan Army. Marri, who is the president of Free Balochistan Movement, however, stated that Baloch nationals maintain high regard to the shrine even though the majority of them are Muslim, said a statement of PPFA.
“We appeal to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to take a personal interest to enhance diplomatic efforts to revive the Hinglaj temple and pave easier ways for Indian pilgrims to visit the shrine. As the Baloch nationals are legitimately secular in nature, they may also be taken into confidence in fulfilling the mission,” concluded the PPFA statement.
