Radical Islamist party intensifies its action against Ahmadi community in Pakistan

By M Zulqernain

LAHORE: (Mar 17) A radical Islamist party in Pakistan has intensified its action against the minority Ahmadi community, forcibly stopping its members from offering special Friday prayers in several cities of Punjab and also torturing them, a community organisation said on Monday.

Last Friday, the Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) members surrounded the worship places of Ahmadis in Faisalabad, Sargodha, Layyah, Gujranwala, Sialkot, Bahawalpur and Okara districts of Punjab and threatened the Ahmadi worshippers to stop offering Friday prayers, Jamaat-e-Ahmadiyya Pakistan (JAP) said.

They chanted slogans against Ahmadis, calling them infidels and also called for the sealing of their worship places. They said Ahmadis cannot offer Friday prayers as it is a “Muslim ritual”.
