Police carryout a brutal assault on Ahmadiyya offices, staff in the Punjab town of Rabwah.
The UK newspaper The Guardian in reporting, "Pakistan PM celebrates scientist from minority sect," added the words, "risking hardliners' fury" to its headline. The addition was apparently jinxed.
The news of the Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif honoring the Nobel Laureate, late Dr Abdul Salam, a member of the persecuted Ahmadiyya community, wasn't even a day old when the government of the Punjab swung into action to eclipse the long time coming recognition at home for the world-renowned scientist.
The raid, peculiar in its timing, was disguised as a search for blasphemous materials in the Ahmadiyya publications.
According to the news of the alleged raid, a convoy of trucks overloaded with an extra-large contingent of several dozen policemen rolled into Rabwah and barged into the Ahmadiyya administrative offices, slamming people to the ground and beating up on security personnel posted at the door.
Police officials, who carried no search warrants and did not justify the raid, arrested several office staff members, and confiscated computers, telephones and office equipment.
The Punjab province of Pakistan is a region known as cesspool of all things vile when it comes to extremism, terrorism, and religious headliners.
One Masroor Nawaz Jhangvi, son of a Sunni militant group’s slain founder, recently made headlines when he won the by-election for a seat in the Punjab Assembly.
Jhangvi’s father, Haq Nawaz Jhangvi, founded Sipah-i-Sahaba Pakistan (SSP), a banned terrorist group which has helped lead a wave of sectarian violence in Pakistan for decades.

Such a shame.This is the country who was founded on the name of Islam.Does Islam teaches violence?
ReplyDeleteThis inhumane behavior is destroying Pakistan.All we can do is just pray to Allah that may He guide these senseless people to the right path,may these people follow the footsteps of Holy Prophet (peace be upon Him).
It is very painful incident, there is no law in that country. The question is that how can they raid on innocent peoples and on their offices without any reason,for just being an Ahmadi?
ReplyDeleteVery condemnable act by punjab government.
ReplyDeleteNo one is safe and secure in this country.They do whatever they want.only because they think they are the true followers of Islam.
