Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Human Rights Cell asks the Chief Justice to take Suo Moto notice for violation of Article 20 of the Constitution by law enforcement agencies in the Punjab.
The PPP Human Rights Cell has expressed its concern on the increase in incidents where religious minorities are being denied their right to religion. On July 11 it was reported that the Kharian police demolished religious place of the Ahmedis, but this is not the first nor the only incident. Ahmedi places of worship have been demolished in Chiniot, in Lahore, Rawalpindi, and Rabwah, at the behest of extremist religious groups.
“The Supreme Court has been quick to take suo moto notice of all issues large and small, but the same Supreme Court has failed to take notice of the many places of worship that have been demolished by none other than the police,” states Central Coordinator PPP Human rights adding that “ We would like to draw the attention of the CJ to a violation of Article 20 which states that “every citizen shall have the right to profess, practise and propagate his religion and every religious denomination and every sect thereof shall have the right to establish, maintain and manage its religious institutions.”

This statement is more inclined to “Bughze Moavia than Hubbe Ali” That means less inclined to support human rights of ahmadies more inclined to criticize CJ of SC. Go back to 1974 it was PP Government which started this whole fuss. Ask your senior leader Dr Mubashar why ZA Bhutto declared Ahmadies as Non Muslim. You can not even protect your Governor and Federal Minister while in Government so what ahmadies can expect from you. If you really want to do something serious about ahmadies then bring an ordinance to repeal the 1984 ordinance. You have majority in the assembly and keep on bringing amendments news ordinances very oft.
Right, and reverse the 1974 amendment too…
Notice that the PPP Human Rights Cell cannot bring itself to utter the word ‘mosque’. Nor call for repealing the second amendment.
The more I read about the Human Rights violations of Ahmadis of Pakistan on a selective basis, the sicker I become.
Hanging our hopes on anyone for rescue or long term solutions is wishful thinking. Our exclusive weapon is our supplications before Allah Subhan Autala which we seem less engaged in.
Plus, given our strength and presence outside of Pakistan we have not exerted enough pressure on Pakistani Embassies and authorities within to come to their senses of what they are doing.
Let’s be optimistic, ” Some thing is better than nothing”.PPP human rights wing still remember Article 20 ?
” Bahut Der ki Mehrban Aatay Aatay “
Koya. Efforts are made all over the world but even Paksitani diplomats also give deaf ear to atrocities committed against ahmadies.
In the Name of Allah the Most Gracious Ever Merciful
Although it seems Bughze Moavia more than Hubbe Ali, Still I endorse Mr MNA Khan in this respect. May human Right Commission find strrength to take more bold steps and May that the wrath of Allah for wich the Government of Pakistan and espacialy government of the Punjab deserved by their actions turned into the Mercy of Allah. Although our hearts aredeeply hurt, still we do not want them in trouble. May Allah grant them power to repant for their wrong doings and deserve the Mercy of Allah instead of wrath of Allah. If they do not repant then Holy Quran is full with history of those who were wiped out from the serface of the earth.
May Allah has Mercy on our nation Aameen
