LAHORE
Two more incidents were recorded by September 30, as places of worship of the Ahmadi community were attacked and demolished by ‘unknown’ miscreants in districts Jehlum, and Okara.
The community spokesperson said that such an incident even happened on Friday, on 12th Rabbi ul Awwal, when instead the day should have been held for celebrating the legacy of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). But he said that those who had marginalized the Ahmadis were continuing to do so.
“The persecution of the Ahmadis is reaching new heights,” he said. “On September 29, around 20 miscreants demolished the arch of the Ahmaddiya Worship Place in Mahmoodabad, district Jhelum. This is the same Jhelum district where the TLP has been at the forefront against the Ahmadis,” he said.
“Earlier on the same day, the arch at the Ahmaddiya worship place in 55/2L, Okara took place on September 29 at around 6 pm, where the CCTV cameras were also destroyed. This has to end very soon,” said Mehmood.
In September a new attack has been recorded on worship places of Ahmadis almost every day.
