Chenab Nagar, Rabwah: Miscreants attacked an Ahmadi place of worship in Kala Gujran, Jhelum. They damaged the furnishings, took them out in the street, and set them on fire. Three days ago, on November 20, the opponents of the Ahmadiyya community attacked a chip-board factory and set it ablaze when people were still inside. The perpetrators acted to burn alive those inside the factory. Their lives were barely saved with the help of law enforcement agencies. Yesterday, on Saturday, November 21, 2015, extremist elements held a rally in Kala Gujran. They encircled the Ahmadiyya Bait-uz-Zikr, took the prayer mats and other movables out and set them on fire in the street. It is relevant to mention that personnel from law enforcement agencies were present on the spot but they did not exert to stop the miscreants from burning the belongings. After this, the bigots washed the mosque, a mulla called the Azaan, and they offered Asar prayer in the mosque. Thereafter, the authorities told them to leave, and locked the mosque.
The spokesperson of Ahmadiyya community in Pakistan, Saleemuddin strongly condemned the violent incidents in Jhelum and said that an Ahmadiyya place of worship was attacked in presence of the law enforcement personnel who, instead of taking action against the lawbreakers, stood there as spectators. He further said that an application for registration of FIR against the participants who damaged the factory and burned the belongings of the worship place has been lodged with the police. He added that the Ahmadis of Jhelum and surrounding areas have been forced to leave their homes, for safety. He demanded from the government that Ahmadis should be provided protection and strict legal action should be taken against the miscreants who threatened human lives.
