The rising atrocities against religious minorities in Pakistan have once again come to the news. An FIR has been registered against more than 50 people of the Ahmadia community in Punjab province. He is accused of offering a Friday prayers, which is forbidden to him. Following this action, serious questions are being raised on religious freedom in Pakistan.
Atmadia attacks
The matter is from the Punjab province-based Punjab province, where the fundamentalist organization Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) surrounded the worship places of the Ahmadis in many cities so that they could not pray. Ahmadis were also attacked during a Friday prayers in Faisalabad. Following the incident, the police registered a case against more than 50 people, including eight nominated Ahmadis, under sections of the Pakistan Penal Code (PPC).
Non -Muslim declared
An FIR was registered on the complaint of a man named Mohammad Amanullah. It was alleged that the people of the Ahmadi community were insulting Islam by calling themselves a Muslim. In Pakistan, the Ahmadis were declared non-Muslim in 1974, after which they are not allowed to comply with Islamic customs. In recent years, attacks and restrictions on them have increased further.
Namaz stopped
Jamaat-e-Ahmadia Pakistan (JAP) spokesman Amir Mahmood said, “In the last one month, Ahmadis have been prevented from praying in 33 places.” He sought the government to ensure the security of the ego and to take action against the fundamentalists. He raised the question why false cases were being registered against innocent egois at the behest of the fundamentalist organization.
Attacks are increasing across the country
According to Jamaat-e-Ahmadia, Ahmadi worship sites were also surrounded in many other districts of Punjab, including Kartarpur, Pakistan-based Gujarat and Sialkot. Religious extremist organizations tried to stop the Friday prayers here. The hatred against the Ahmadis in Pakistan is not new, but recent events have put their religious freedom in danger.
Violation of the constitution
Jamaat-e-Ahmadia says that this action is a clear violation of Article 20 of the Constitution of Pakistan, which guarantees religious freedom to all citizens. Spokesperson Amir Mahmud sought the government to ensure the security of the Ahmadis and take legal action against the fundamental elements. The incident has once again raised serious debate on the status of religious intolerance and minorities in Pakistan.
