| Religious parties condemn attacks on Ahmedis | |
| 2010-05-29 | |
Jamiat Ulema-e-Pakistan Noorani (JUP-N) and the World Pasban Khatam-e-Nabuwat (WPKN), known to be two of those parties who are most actively working against Ahmedis in the country, and several religious organisations have condemned the terrorist attacks targeting Ahmedis on Friday. The JUP-N started a Khatam-e-Nabuwat movement against Ahmedis in the 70s and later succeeded in having them declared "non-Muslims" through parliament in 1974 and the WPKN, established 31 years ago, had launched various demonstrations against Ahmedis.
Zawar said that the attacks on Ahmedis were a conspiracy launched by international agencies to divert the world's attention from Muslim protests on the Facebook issue. "American, Indian and Israeli agencies may be involved in these attacks in a bid to increase the propaganda against Muslims," he said. WPKN convener Allama Mumtaz Awan told Daily Times that he condemned the attacks against Ahmedis, saying that such acts of terror were against Islamic teachings. "Although we ran a movement against Ahmedis, we have never crossed any limits because we believe in the rights of all communities living in the country," he said. To a question, he said that three organizations, including the International Khatam-e-Nabuwat Movement (IKNM), Almi Majlis Tahafuz-e-Khatam-e-Nabuwat (AMTKN) and his own group were actively playing their role for defending the ideology of Khatam-e-Nabuwat, adding that the attacks on Ahmedis were a conspiracy against Pakistan. Jamaat-ud-Dawa Pakistan (JDP)'s spokesperson Yahya Mujahid, condemning the attacks, said the Punjabi Taliban were responsible. Also, Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) chief Syed Munawar Hasan condemned the attacks in the provincial capital and termed it a conspiracy on the Youm-e-Takbeer to trigger civil war and justify continued US interference in the country. Separately, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Jaferia (PTJ) Punjab President Tanveer Naqvi told Daily Times that he condemned every form of terrorism, adding that Friday's attacks were a conspiracy to defame Muslims as terrorists. | |
