After son in law and son the 70 years old Mr. Bashir Ahmad Kiyani became the victim of barbarous killers

Rabwah -- The killing of 70 yers old Mr. Bashir Ahmad Kiyani, who was murdered on Friday, was due to religious hatred in Karachi.

According to details provided by Jama'at Ahmadiyya Pakistan, Mr. Bashir Ahmad Kiyani and an Ahmadi child was going to Ahmadiyya mosque Baitul Hamd to offer Friday prayers when unknown assailants opened fire on both of them.

Mr. Kiyani received one bullet in his temple and two bullets in his chest while the child was hit by one bullet in his leg; and both  were immediately shifted to the nearest hospital.

Mr. Kiyani succumbed to the injuries while the small child is reported in stable condition.

The victim's body was brought to Rabwah where a great number of citizens attended funeral prayers.

Mr. Kiyani, who is survived by a widow and five children, was a man of good fame in the locality and had no personal animosity with anyone.

It is worth noting that Mr. Kiyani’s son in law Mr. Zahur Ahmad Kiyani and son, Mr. Ijaz Ahmad Kiyani were killed previously on August 21 and September 18 for their Ahmadiyya faith.

Mr. Saleemuddin, the spokesman of Jamaat Ahmadiyya expressed great sorrow and sadness and said that the third member of same family was killed in a locality which shows that an organized group is target-killing Ahmadis. These sacrifices are further strengthening our morale. Opponents could not weaken the faith of any Ahmadi nor could such terrorism force any Ahmadi to lose his faith.

"The decrees of Ahmadis being Wajibul Qatl (must be killed) are being issued in conferences held in the sacred of Khatme Nabuwwat openly," said Ahmadiyya National Spokesperson, Mr. Saleemuddin.

Mr. Saleemuddin says the opponents routinely publish and distribute hate literature against Ahmadis provoking public to boycott Ahmadis and even to kill them.

The governmental authorities are not paying any heed to it, Mr. Saleemuddin has repeated asserted. "The innocent Ahmadis are losing their lives due to this negligence."

"The brutal murderers should be arrested and punished according to the law," Mr. Saleemuddin demanded.
