Pakistan News: A surprising case has come to light from the Punjab province of Pakistan. An FIR has been registered against more than 50 people of Ahmadiyya community here. He is accused that he offered prayers of Jumme, which is banned for him. In many cities, the radical organization Tehreek-e-Labbac Pakistan (TLP) surrounded the prayers of Ahmadis and stopped them from offering Namaz.
Increasing atrocities against religious minorities in Pakistan have once again become a topic of discussion. After this action, serious questions are being raised about religious freedom in Pakistan.
Know what is the whole matter
Radical organization Tehreek-e-Labback Pakistan (TLP) surrounded the Ibadat sites of the Ahmadiyas community in many cities in Punjab province so that they could not offer prayers. At the same time, Ahmadis were also attacked during the Namaz in Faisalabad. After this incident, the police registered a case against more than 50 people, including 8 named Ahmedis, under various sections of the Pakistan Penal Code (PPC).
The FIR was lodged on the complaint of a person named Mohammad Amanullah, alleging that people of Ahmadi community are insulting Islam, calling themselves Muslims. Ahmadis were declared non-Muslim in Pakistan in 1974, after which they have not been allowed to follow Islamic customs. In recent years, attacks and restrictions against him have increased further.
Increasing attacks
At the same time, Jamaat-e-Ahmedia Pakistan (JAP) spokesperson Aamir Mahmood said in his statement that the Ahmadiya community was stopped from offering prayers at 33 places in the last one month. He has raised the demand from the government to take strict action against the fundamentalists. At the same time, he questioned why false cases are being filed against innocent Ahmadis under the pressure of a radical organization?
According to JAP, the places of worship of Ahmadis were also surrounded in many other districts of Punjab like Kartarpur, Gujarat and Sialkot. Religious extremist organizations tried to stop prayers at these places. Hatred towards the Ahmadiyas community in Pakistan is not new, but recent incidents have put their religious freedom in more danger.
Constitution is being violated
Jamaat-e-Ahmedia Pakistan (JAP) says that this action is a clear violation of Article 20 of the Constitution of Pakistan, which guarantees religious freedom to all citizens. JAP spokesperson Aamir Mahmood demanded the government to ensure the safety of Ahmedis and take legal action against radical elements.
