he 37 year old Ahmadi man, Ikram Ullah, who was killed in his medical store at Tonsa, district Dera Ghazi Khan on August 19th was a victim of religious hatred, Jama'at Ahmadiyya Pakistan has asserted in a press release.
"This incident is the reinforcement of religious hatred and biasness," the community press release read, adding, "Baseless nationwide propaganda against Ahmadis is strangling the lives of the members of innocent community."
The written statement by the beleaguered community detailed the circumstances surrounding the attack on Ikram Ullah who was shot multiple times at his place of business.
Four unknown target killers rode into Ikram Ullah's place of business and sprayed him with bullets, killing him on the spot.
The victim, a pharmacist by trade, and described as "an active member of the community and a noble person," leaves behind his widow, a daughter age 5 and a son age 18 months.
Ikram Ullah was not known to have enmity with anyone and police officials suspect killing was motivated by faith.
"Ikram Ullah had no personal enmity and neither did he have any questionable financial dealings, he was most probably targeted because he was a member of Qadiani[*] community," District Police Officer of Dera Gazi Khan, Ghulam Mubashir Maken, told BBC news.
Spokesman of Jamat Ahmadiyya Pakistan, Mr Saleem Ud Din said: "Continuous, seditious propaganda against Ahmadis all over the country is a primary reason of these kinds of incidents."
He said that it was announced in the National Action Plan, established by the Government of Pakistan on January 2015 to crack down on terrorism, that effective action will be taken against all persons who spread hatred.
"But it is sorry to say that not only all seditious elements spreading hatred against Jamat Ahmadiyya are free but also continuing their seditious propaganda against Ahmadees fearlessly," Saleem Ud Din said.
Spokesman demanded administration to arrest the killers of Mr Ikram Ullah urgently and punish them in accordance with the law.
