Domes and minarets of Ahmadi Mosque located in Pakistan's Karachi was allegedly vandalised by a group of miscreants allegedly from the extremist group Tehreek-i-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) on February 2.

This attack was reportedly similar to that carried out in the Martin Quarters area in Pakistan on January 18, 2023.

Most recently, minarets of Ahmadi Jamaat Khata on Jamshed Road in Karachi were demolished, ANI reported.

Tehrik-e-Labbik is an extremist Sunni group aiming to protect Pakistan's draconian blasphemy laws and punish blasphemers, as per a Reuters report.

On the other hand, The religious sect (Ahmadiyyas) was founded by Mirza Ghulam Ahmad in 1889, in opposition to certain aspects of Islam, by bringing God's teaching into harmony with the present-day world by him.

Ahmadiyyas finds their origin in Qadian near Amritsar in Punjab, India.

There are around 2-5 million Ahmadis in Pakistan, and around 1 lakh in India.

Even after not creating any dispute into the centrality of the Prophet in their religion, they face continuous opposition, attacks and persecution by hardline muslim clerics in Pakistan.

The Human Rights Commission of Pakistan (HRCP) earlier condemned the profane of an Ahmadiyya worship site by removing the minarets in Punjab province's Wazirabad district and called for the protection of spaces of the religious minorities in the country.

In 1974, Pakistan's Prime Minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto enacted an amendment to the constitution, declaring Ahmadiyyas to be non-Muslims, baring them from going to mosques.

According to a document of the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, The military dictator Zia-ul-Haq's 1984 ordinance introduced explicit discriminatory references to Ahmadiyyas in Sections 298-B and 298-C of the Pakistan Penal Code (PPC).

In 2002, a supplementary list of voters was created in which Ahmadiyyas were categorised as non-Muslims and now they come under a separate electoral list.

Henceforth, according to the Pakistani constitution, Ahmadis can’t call themselves Muslims, they can’t call their place of worship mosques. Moreover, their places of worship can’t look like a masjid or mosque, and they can’t have a structure like minarets. Moreover, Ahmadis also can’t write the Kalima-e-Tayyiba on its walls.
