“For the past 2 - 3 days it has become very difficult - if not altogether impossible – for Ahmadis to leave their homes to buy even the ordinary groceries.”

The ongoing living conditions for Ahmadis of Orangi Town area of Karachi in Sind provence of Pakistan are getting ‘tougher by the day,’ Ahmadiyya Times has learned.
Since the target-killing of a 70 years old Ahmadī because of his faith a week ago, the local atmosphere has further worsened, it has been reported to Ahmadiyya Times.
Third member of the same family to be gunned down because of his faith, the victim had seen his son and son-in-law also murdered for their faith by the Islamist extremists in Orangi Town.
In recent days, according to several local reports, the threat to Ahamdi lives has increased to a level that going to work or carrying out of normal daily household chores has become a real challenge.
"For the past 2 - 3 days it has become very difficult - if not altogether impossible – for Ahmadis to leave their homes to buy even the ordinary groceries," said one local Ahmadī whose name is being withheld by Ahmadiyya Times for safety reasons.
"The children are unable to go to their schools and colleges either," it was further asserted.
According to recent media reports, there are no-go areas in Orangi where criminals are stronger, the police are weak, and some residents have become intolerant towards the Ahmadis due to the hatred incited through pamphlets and wall chalking.
The "anti-Ahmadi laws" of Pakistan continuously help foster a climate of aggression and brutality towards Ahamdis.
