Ahmadis will have to declare themselves as non-Muslims to get CNIC according to new NADRA policy

The National Database & Registration Authority (NADRA) has inserted a new requirement in CNIC application forms according to which Ahmadis will have to declare they are non-Muslims and sign the particular field.

The section specified for the Ahmadi community says “I profess that I am not a Muslim, and I belong to the Qadiani/Ahmadi religion”.

This particular section of the application form has got people talking on social media. Most of the people are condemning NADRA’s move and are asking the government to take notice of the issue.

The image of the section was shared by Twitter user Obaidullah Khan

This led to various prominent journalists and activists to urge government representatives, including Human Rights Minister Shireen Mazari to intervene

Some people believe Prime Minister Imran Khan does not know about NADRA's plans and that he will never let such a thing happen
