Dear APPNA Members,

Recent burning of an Ahmadi place of worship in Punjab’s Jhelum district two days after a factory was set on fire in the district late on Friday November 20th, 2015 is condemnable and deeply disturbing to our membership. Despite police guard, a mob managed to break through and burn the factory down as they had been incited to violence.

We condemn this mob anarchy which threatens innocent lives and livelihoods. We urge the Punjab Government to apprehend and punish those miscreants who have caused so much damage to property. APPNA remains committed to promote peace and harmony.

We offer our sympathies to the Ahmadi community which has contributed so much to Pakistan’s growth and progress and produced its first Nobel Prize winner amongst so many other contributions.
