Art of Living centre set on fire in Pakistan

Darpan News Desk IANS, 09 Mar, 2014 12:26 PM
    The Art of Living (AoL) centre near Pakistan's capital Islamabad has been vandalised by unidentified gunmen, the city-based humanitarian and educational non-government organisation said Sunday.
     
    "Around 15 gunmen entered the centre at Bani Gala on the outskirts of Islamabad late Saturday and vandalised it after tying up the security guards to trees in the complex," the NGO said in a statement here.
     
    People present at the centre were safe and no one was injured in the attack.
     
    Though the centre has a capacity to house about 60 people at a time, the stress-elimination programme was shifted to Nankana Sahib, about 350 km from Islamabad, the statement quoted AoL Pakistan faculty member Shahnaz Minallah as saying.
     
    The centre was unveiled by AoL founder Sri Sri Ravi Shankar in 2012.
