A 120-year-old worship place of the minority Ahmadi community was demolished by police on the pressure of a radical Islamist party in Pakistan’s Punjab province, a community organisation said on Monday. “A team of police personnel along with the members of the radical Islamist party entered the Ahmadi worship place last week and demolished it. The Gujranwala police said that it demolished the Ahmadi worship place on complaints that it had minarets like that of a Muslim Mosque, which cannot be allowed. Ahmadi teachers and government employees are being threatened at their workplaces,” he said, adding that continued persecution of Ahmadis is severely damaging Pakistan’s global image.
