Nadeem F. Paracha is a respected columnist of the left-wing variety, a rare species in Pakistan these days. He is a keen observer of the modern history of a nation in the process of self-combusting into oblivion. I understand and share his pain at this hopeless, prolonged and soul destroying state of affairs in Pakistan.
In his attempt to understand and explain the reasons behind Prime Minister Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto’s ‘compromise’ over the Ahmadiyya issue in 1974, NFP has made a few factual errors. Errors which almost seem like an attempt to shift some blame for the 2nd constitutional amendment to its victims, the Ahmadi Muslims. NFP calls this a ‘theological issue’ and excuses himself from giving any opinions on its religious aspects. Ironically, at the same time he blames the myopia and laziness of the secular intelligentsia to blame Bhutto alone for this whole debacle. The matter of deciding on someone’s faith is nothing but a theological issue.

There are many in Pakistan who may have confusion about the facts discussed in Parliament 1974, because there is no any document made public by Ahamdis in any form during the past about 40 years, where as we see some books in market written on this subject. People have only that much information through such books which may one sided. To my knowledge there was restriction for 30 years not to make public anything about it. If there is confusion in NFP’s article as said in above article, it is because there is no any material in public from Ahmadi’s point of viw. Therefore people have to depend on the books already in market. To avoid any confusion Ahmadis should consider to publish the report of parliament 1974. Otherwise the things like NFP’s article can not be stopped.
