More anti-Ahmadī rhetoric by a known Pakistani extremist group has recently picked up speed in Jarranwala, a medium-size town in central part of the Punjab province in Pakistan.

Coming on the heel of attacks in Gujranwala, where Ahmadis' properties were set ablaze by an enraged Islamist mob and three females were burnt to death, riling up anti-Ahmadi sentiment again sends shockwaves of fear for local Ahmadis in Jarranwala.

According to local reports, many public walls are plastered with hundreds of banners announcing an anti-Ahmadi conference, “To Eradicate Ahmadiyya Apostasy Activities,” to be held on August 23rd.

The conference is organized by the infamous Majlis Tehreek-e Khatm-e Nubuwwat  (MTKN) group and the banners show that the event is being sponsored by several civic, professional, and business leaders. The conference will be hosted at a city-owned school ground, it is stated on the banners.

Among the leaders sponsoring the bigoted conference are, Rana Mehmood Ahmad Khan, general secretary, local Bar Association; Mian Ihsanaullah, proprietor, Sign In Security (SiS); Abdul Sattar Iqbal, Advocate (attorney); Umar Masood Chaudhry, and others.

According to local sources, there is no evidence that the local law enforcement agencies have taken any notice of the upcoming conference or its possible ramifications in case the sentiment will get out of hand.
