LAHORE:
A day after Premier Nawaz Sharif posthumously acknowledged the contribution of the first Pakistani Nobel laureate physicist, Dr Abdul Salam, who was an Ahmadi by faith, Punjab’s Counter Terrorism Department (CTD) raided the community’s headquarters in Rabwa and detained four of its members.
Jamaat Ahmadiyya Pakistan’s spokesperson Saleemuddin said the officials, who arrived in three vans, made their forceful entry into the offices of the Jamaat at Rabwa in Chiniot district by beating a guard on duty.
They took into custody four of their members affiliated with their magazines – Alfazal and Tehrik-e-Jadid – and also booked five others in the FIR registered under 298-B, 298-B(a), 298-C of the Pakistan Penal Code and 9-II(w) of Anti-Terrorism Act against them.
According to the FIR, the CDT officials raided the headquarters to stop printing of ‘banned’ magazines.

When atrocities committed elsewhere one can hear lot of hue and cry however complete silence prevails at home. Incident took place at 12.30 Pakistan Time on 05.12.2016. In international media all over was the news. Today world has become a digital global village. With social media all is aired immediately. Even when police vehicles were moving in Ahmadiyya headquarter area, the pictures went viral and people across the globe knew what is happening. Well informed ET could get details after 2 days. While remaining print and electronic media preferred to stay silent.
Charity begins at home. Unless Pakistan ruling elite does not ensure fairness and absolute justice at home and treat all citizens equally, Pakistan will be marching towards international isolation. Ahmadiyya has very effective public relations all over the globe. Any injustice done to the community is getting international attention with in no time.
Political and military elite must examine this long outstanding human rights issue. Seriously consider to separate state from religion. Let the religion matter to remain between man and God and do not become God on this earth.
