The clerics claim that Ahmadis violated the Pakistani constitution when they buried their deceased in the public graveyard – because it is used predominately by the area Muslims.
Burial of an Ahmadi man in a public graveyard has resulted in protests organized by local Islamist activists in Rao Ke Ratian, a village in Narowal district in the Punjab province of Pakistan.
Incited by local madrasa leaders, the villagers have demanded that the dead body of the Ahmadī man, Muhammad Boota, should be exhumed from the ‘Muslim graveyard’ and sent elsewhere.
The clerics claim that Ahmadis violated the Pakistani constitution when they buried their deceased in the public graveyard – because it is used predominately by the area Muslims.
At the time of burial, the local administration had installed police guards to ward off any altercations.
According to a local Urdu language newspaper, Daily Ausaf, two area leaders of Ahle-Sunnat wal-Jamā’at, an Islamist group, have now filed their demands with the town administration seeking immediate redress of their complaints.
Ahle-Sunnat wal-Jamā’at (ASWJ) is doctrinally aligned with several banned terrorists organization, including, Jamā'at-ud Dawa (JuD), and Lashkar-e Tayyaba (LeT).
Mohammad Yaqoob, patron, and Qari Arshad Rabbani, general secretary, of the organization have threatened street action and road blockages on Friday, November 21, if their demands are not met and Mr Boota’s remains are not removed by then.
A “Protestive" Khatma-eNubuwwat Conference has been planned for Friday where many leaders of ASWJ are slated to rile up the villagers.
The Punjab province is plagued with madrasas producing Islamist extremists used in inciting anti-minority sentiments and violence.
Last week a Christian couple was burned to death for the allegations of blasphemy leveled by an Islamist leader from a local mosque.
