RAWALPINDI: Hundreds of people organised a protest against the Ahmadiyya community in Rawalpindi on Sunday, claiming that community members had illegally established a worship place in the city.

The protest, led by a representative of the local traders union Sherjeel Mir, was organised in F Block of Satellite Town near the Holy Family Hospital.

According to the protesters, the worship place called Ewane Tauheed is located in a residential area and has been built without proper official permission.

Ahmadi Community members, however, claim that the building was built through due process after the Jamaat-e-Ahmadiyya, a registered organisation, purchased the land.


Earlier, anonymous banners had appeared in Rawalpindi, demanding that Ahmadi community members leave the area. The banners also termed the community’s activities against Pakistan’s constitution, which declares Ahmadis non-Muslims.

The persecuted minority, members of which are regularly killed in Pakistan, fears recurrence of recent attacks on their community, such as that in May 2010 in Lahore when 93 people were killed in two worship places.

  1. It makes me sad to see how helpless the Ahmadis of Pakistan are,whatever you may say they are Pakistanis and it is there right to have security and protection from the Taliban and mulla cult.If the government is unable to do that then they might as well step down and let these cults run the country ... What will happen next is horrifically unspeakable .
