In last five months, this is the third incidence that the graves of Ahmadis are desecrated yet no legal action has been taken against the perpetrators.
Last week, some local clerics had done the same in Punjab’s Sheikhupura district. On the occasion, the official account of Pakistan’s Ahmadiyya community posted the photos of desecrated graves on Twitter, saying: “The Ahmadis residing in Pakistan are not at peace even after their demise. The act of damaging the Gravestones of the Ahmadis in Chak No-79 Nawa Kot, District Sheikhupura by the Local Clerics and the Authorities is indeed condemnable.”
Moreover in March this year, the police officials had allegedly desecrated three graves belonging to the members of Ahmadiyya community in Punjab’s Chak-2 TDA district in Khushab. The incident took place a day after Prime Minister Imran Khan warned that anyone targeting the country’s minorities would be dealt with strictly.
Spokesman of Jamaat Ahmadiyya Pakistan Saleem-ud-Din had condemned the incident and said that three graves of Ahmadis had been desecrated by local police at the ‘behest of clerics’ in Khushab. “The Ahmadis are not even safe in their graves in Pakistan,” he added.
