Ahmadi place of worship: Court action urged on minarets’ razin

Published: July 14, 2012

ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Human Rights Cell requested Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry on Friday to take suo motu notice of the demolition of minarets in an Ahmadi place of worship in Punjab.

Expressing concern over incidents where religious minorities are being denied their rights to religious freedom in different parts of the country, the PPP Human Rights Cell demanded an intervention from the apex court on the matter.

In a statement issued by the PPP Human Rights Cell’s central coordinator Nafisa Shah, it was pointed out that the Kharian police had demolished an Ahmadi place of worship on June 11. “The matter is not confined to razing of the Ahmadi places of worship but other minorities are also facing persecution in Pakistan,” the statement added.

    They are making fool. If they are concern about ahmadis then they should abolish the black law of Pakistan

    We request Chief Justice of Pakistan to take Sou Motu action against this action because he has the authority according to the Law of Pakistan against all those acts in which basic human rights of People of Pakistan would have been violated. If we condemn the Babri Mosque incident then we must condemn this act as well becuse all places of worships are as important as any one. Its a time for Chief Justice of Pakistan to prove that he is fighting for the true justice of all Pakistanis.
