The Ahmadiyya Jamaat claimed that the minarets of its place of worship were demolished by the police in Wazirabad.

The incident took place in Wazirabad, where the minarets of the Ahmadiyya mosque were demolished in defiance of the Supreme Court’s 2014 decision to protect places of worship.

The Ahmadiyya Jamaat says the Punjab police pulled down the minarets of its place of worship last night without any legal justification.

In December last year, the Ahmadiyya Jamaat claimed that the Gujranwala police pulled down the minarets of the outer gate of its place of worship in Baghbanpura area of ​​Gujranwala.

Pakistan’s minority Ahmadi community is subject to discrimination, often with legal and state sponsorship. Earlier this month, an Ahmadi man was booked by Karachi police under the country’s Ahmadiyya-specific criminal provisions for using ‘Syed’ as his first name. According to a copy of the FIR, the accused was a lawyer and represented other Ahmadis in court. The person had presented some documents related to the case. It has been claimed that the documents contain Islamic terminology. His name appeared prominently.

It should be noted that the Ahmadiyya Jamaat in Pakistan was declared non-Muslim by Parliament in 1974 and further restricted under a new law, the Prohibition of Qadianism Ordinance, which was under General Zia-ul-Haq.
