Incident in violation of Human Rights and human dignity; we strongly condemn it: Spokesperson Jamaat Ahmadiyya
Several personnel from Punjab police desecrated the Kalima (Muslim creed) written on the gravestones of Ahmadis in an Ahmadiyya graveyard of a small village, Chak no. 96 GB in Tehsil Jaranwala.
According to the details provided by Jamaat Ahmadiyya Pakistan, an opponent of Ahmadiyya community lodged a complaint with the local police that some writings on the gravestones of Ahmadis in the cemetery are hurtful to his feelings.
The local police summoned the Ahmadis and demanded they remove the Kalima from the grave markers which demand the Ahmadiyya community rejected.
Thereafter, Mr. Saleem-ud Din, the spokesperson of the Ahmadiyya community says, a few policemen came to the cemetery and personally destroyed the tiles on which Kalima was written on seven gravestones.
"This is unlawful and immoral,” said Mr. Saleem-ud Din referring to the Order of the Supreme Court, of November 4, 1992 that conveys that Ahmadis have legal right to use words like Bismillah and such other Islamic terms.
“Ahmadis face discrimination in Pakistan, but those who persist in such treatment to Ahmadis dead should not forget that one day they have to appear in the Divine court,” he added.
