The Nation: RAWALPINDI – It turned out to be a rumour that around 25 members of Ahmadiyya community managed to gather at a ‘disputed’ worship place in Rawalpindi to attend Friday prayers, when local police carried out a search operation of the building on the request of a mob, fraught with great emotion, gathered in front of the worship place.
The rumour was aired by none other than Sharjil Mir, the head of so-called Action Committee Khatm-e-Nabowat. However, later it exposed that Mir had spread that disinformation, as he was being snubbed by one of the caretakers of the worship place for interrupting an employee of WAPDA, who was supposed to drop the electricity bill at the worship place, and for curiously examining the bill.
“Did you check our electricity bill? If so, then in what capacity?” these were the questions Sharjil Mir was asked by a caretaker of the building.
Feeling insulted, the situation forced Mir to gather a mob by spreading disinformation – where he claimed that 25 members of the community were offering prayers inside the building and that he was being threatened by one of the caretakers.
