Pakistan's fundamentalist party Jamaat-e-Islami has warned it will launch a fresh movement if Ahmedi sect does not accept its minority status and the government keeps silent about its so-called “blasphemous and unconstitutional activities”.
Jamaat-e-Islami chief Munawwar Hasan said the recent terrorist attacks on Ahmedi mosques in Lahore were condemned by all sections of society.
Terrorists last month wearing suicide vests and armed with grenades and assault rifles stormed two packed mosques of the Ahmadi sect in this eastern Pakistani city, killing about 100 people, including a retired Lieutenant General and a journalist, and injuring scores more.
These attacks, Hasan claimed, had been carried out not by Muslims but by enemies of Islam. After these attacks, the Ahmedis projected themselves as an oppressed community and were not prepared to accept their minority status, Hasan contended.
According to Hasan, this is being done at the behest of foreign powers and a section of the press is supporting the Ahmedis. He warned that the people will be forced to launch a fresh movement against Ahmedis if the current situation persists.
The Jamaat-e-Islami chief also condemned targeted killings in Karachi and Balochistan and asked interior minister Mr Rehman Malik to name “foreign powers” involved in these attacks.
