Pakistan: Ahmadiyya Muslim mosque attacked in Okara, Punjab

An Ahmadiyya mosque came under attack from a stone-pelting mob in Okara city in the Punjab province of Pakistan, on Wednesday, it has been reported

The Islamist mob descended on the location around mid-day when clerics incited a dispute over a mosque-owned property for control of an adjoining room.

Hundreds of attackers pelted rocks and bricks at the Ahmadiyya buildings while local police watched the crowed get aggressive. Police eventually moved to appease the attackers by limiting Ahmadiyya proprietorship access to the properties.

The news, it has been reported, reached high corridors of the Punjab government and the influential clerics were successful in having a senior police officer removed who was attempting to defuse the situation.

The Ahmadiyya spokesperson in Pakistan, Mr Saleemud Din has reported in the social media that the situation was 'calm' by the late evening hours but cautioned that danger persisted due to the increasing demands and threats by the clerics to return for protests the following day.
