Ahnmedis shocked with kid glove treatment of mosque attackers by Pak Punjab Govt

Lahore, Jun.4 (ANI): After the brazen attack on two mosques belonging to a minority sect in Lahore last Friday, people of the Ahmedi sect hoped that the Punjab government would take some important steps to protect the marginalized strata of the society, but it was not to be.

Amazingly, when the provincial authorities should have been dealing with the militants, who were nabbed alive during the commando operation on the Garhi Sahu and Model Town mosques, with force, they are busy in facilitating the demands of the terror mongers.

According to reports, one of the injured terrorists was allowed to use his cell phone in the hospital and the authorities even arranged a meeting between him and his family members.

The Ahmedis have severely criticised the provincial government for failing to act tough against the militants who were nabbed after murdering innocent people.

"Several terrorist attacks have been seen in the past, but none of the terrorists were treated so lovingly... none were allowed to communicate with their fellows, who then attempt to free him and manage to safely escape... God knows what they had wanted to achieve and the worst part is that they are still at large," The Daily Times quoted Munawar Ali Shahid, a spokesman for the Ahmedi sect, as saying.

"The only option that an Ahmedi has is either to leave the country or be killed at the hands of a terrorist," Shahid added.

The Pakistan People's Party (PPP), which is in opposition in the province, has also launched an attack on the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) led Punjab government, saying the attack on the Ahmedi mosques was a "clear case of negligence."

"People have lost faith in the Punjab government after the latter contested elections in coordination with terrorist outfits in Jhang and the way the authorities handled the Gojra incident makes it seem that they have an agenda against minorities," PPP's Lahore President Chaudhury Asghar Ali Gujjar said.
