Islamabad, June 12 (ANI): The Ahmadiyya community in Pakistan is discriminated against even during death.
For decades, Ahmadis have faced persecution at the hands of religious extremists and right wing forces.
According to Dawn News, the subjugation of Ahmadis started soon after Independence in 1947.
Ahmadis' subjugation went to the extent that a military dictator Ziaul Haq passed an ordinance making it unlawful for Ahmadis to identify themselves as Muslims.
They were also barred from calling their worship places mosques.
In 2010, in Lahore, 86 Ahmadi worshippers were brutally murdered by the Punjabi Taliban.
According to the report, while the community faces violence and discrimination on a daily basis, few people remember that the sole Noble laureate from Pakistan, Dr Abdul Salam, belonged to the Ahmadiyya community. (ANI)
