Hello Friends,
Persecution of Ahmadiya community in Pakistan and elsewhere is a cause of
concern for all those who believe in Human Rights.
Regardless of the belief that people of Ahmadiya community profess, their
life, liberty, and rights are sacrosanct. Denial of education opportunity
to any one on the grounds of race, faith, or religion, is the extreme form
of violence and injustice.
All consciemtious people and an all Muslims shoud denounce it, and demand
that the democratic government of Pakistan regardless of the attitudes of
a provincial government should eliminate this injustice.
Thanks. Munir

Munir Saheb,
THis is indeed one occasion when I feel ashamed of being
called a Pakistani.
There is absolutely no justification for this kind of
bigotry and tyranny. In a way I am pleased that Nawaz Shareef and his
party did not come into the elected government. Otherwise we would see
much more of this.
It is one thing to see a dictatorial regime ating
irrationally but it is even more shameful when an elected administration
takes to bigotry and this kind of tyranny.
The problem is that the entire Pakistani society has been
poisoned in this way. The system had been injected with religious tyranny
and pure bigotry. It had gone on for more than 20 years. It may take a 100
years of persistent education in tolerance, acceptance, civic
responsibility and pluralism to iradicate that evil.
Do not forget that it was the socialist regime of the most
popular prime minster of Pakistan Mr. Z.A. Bhutto, which passed the law in
an elected assembly to declare the Qadyanis as a minority.
For the time, all we can do is protest and register our
utmost disgust and utter contempt for this state of affairs.
Thank you. Sincerely, Syed-Mohsin Naquvi
