The Nation: ISLAMABAD – The Ahmadiya community residing in Rawalpindi city continues to bear the brunt of dangerous religious frenzy.
Around 1500-1600 worshippers belonging to Ahmadi community – who were supposed to congregate at the worship place of the community located at E-Block of Satellite Town to observe Eidul Azha prayers – were barred by the authorities from doing so.
It came after a new wave of hate-campaign against the community hit the city.
The Action Committee Khatm-e-Nabuwwat (ACKN) – an opportunistic alliance between the banned religious outfits including Jamatud Dawa (Jud) and Ahle Sunnat Wal Jammat (former Sipah-e-Sahaba) and some local traders – just a week before Eidul Azha had filled the city with anti-Ahmadi banners demanding of the city administration to seal the worship place permanently.
It was not the first time, as community members were also not allowed to offer Eidul Fitr prayers around two-and-a-half months ago.
“We, the office-bearers of Anjuman-e-Ahmadiya Rawalpindi (AAR), have formally requested the city administration to allow us to observe Eidul Azha prayers at Ewan-e-Tauheed near the Holy Family Hospital. But the administration refused on the pretext of law and order situation,” said a member of the administration of Ewan-e-Tauheed, wishing not to be named, while talking to TheNation.

This is very shamefull and regretful situation for Pakistani authorities that they are unable to give right of worship to a peaceful community.
Where are claims of democratic government !
What about the claims of justice system and powerful Chief justice !
Where is the fear of Allah the almighty .
They all are frightened from Mullahs.About
these Mullas The Holy prophet has told that they will be worst of all creature . (Misjqat)
These ulma Soo (bad Mullas) has put my beloved country in so many trouble already yet they are inviting Allah’s wrath by rejecting the right of worship.
Quran says no compulsion in religion.
Chief Justice must notice this
God Bless Pakistan
