Although over 2 million Ahmadiyyas living in Pakistan follow the teachings of Quran, they are regarded as non-Muslims after a constitutional amendment passed 40 years ago during General Zia-ul Haq’s military regime. Today they are the most discriminated among minorities in Pakistan where police, clerics and courts often act in tandem against them. This peace-loving community is also being increasingly targeted by Muslim hardliners. The anti-Ahmadiyya campaign is gathering momentum in Britain too which is home to around 25,000 Ahmadiyyas
Dr Khaliq Bashir, 45, belonging to the Ahmadiyya community, was standing outside his clinic in Pakistan’s port city of Karachi late on Monday (June 20) night when a motorcyclist shot him dead.
