Pakistan continues persecution of minorities, bars Ahmadiyyas from buying land in Punjab auction

Lahore, Apr 21 (UNI) In another case of minority harassment, Pakistan's Punjab province has exclusively forbidden its minority Ahmadiyya community from participating in and buying land in an upcoming plot auction in the region, including in Chenab Nagar, which is the headquarters of the Jamaat-i-Ahmadiyya.
In a gazette published by PHATA on (Punjab Housing and Town Planning Agency) on April 17, 2025, by Jhang PHATA Sub-Region Deputy Director Tariq Mahmood, the participation of Ahmadiyyas was strictly banned, stating that only "Muslims" are eligible to bid for 17 residential and commercial plots, Dawn reported.
This comes two days after a 46-year-old Ahmadiyya businessman was lynched by a few hundred supporters of the Tehreek-i-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) when they stormed a place of worship belonging to the Ahmadi community in Karachi’s Saddar area to prevent it from observing religious rituals.
