LAHORE: Some 200,000 members of Pakistan’s minority Ahmadi community will boycott next month’s election in protest at their treatment by the authorities, a spokesman said Monday.

 

“We have been boycotting the election process since 1985 when Ahmadi voters were put in the list of religious minorities,” Saleemuddin, a spokesman for Jamaat-e-Ahmadiya told AFP.

 

He said the community wanted its voters to be included in the joint electorate system.“   More
