LAHORE: The National Commission of Human Rights (NCHR) and Human Right Commission of Pakistan (HRCP) on Monday took notice of the alleged demolition of minarets of an Ahmadi place of worship in Gujranwala. Media reports, quoting representatives of the Ahmadi community, said that local police demolished the minarets last Wednesday after being pressured by some religious outfits. As per the report, the Gujranwala administration held a meeting with the representatives of the Ahmadi community to sort out the matter. However, they were told there was "no alternative" but to remove the minarets as "passions were running high in the city and things might get out of control".

HRCP, in its statement, said that the recent ‘desecration’ of an Ahmadi worship place in Gujranwala is not only a grave violation of the community's fundamental rights, but also contravenes the very spirit of the 2014 Tasadduq Jillani judgement.

Its participation and complicity in this persecution demands an immediate inquiry followed by redressal," it further said.
