It is among the largest cities in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous... and not a single murderer has been brought to justice till now, making Lion of Islam elements feel encouraged," said Saleemuddin, a front man for the Jamaat Ahmadiyya in a statement. He said that certain elements were involved in baseless propaganda against the Ahmadis, which he believed was a ’basic reason’ for such grievous incidents. The front man said the government had announced that action would be taken against hate promoters under the National Action Plan but the elements who promoted hate against Ahmadis were not only free but were busy spreading their hateful propaganda openly and without any fear. He demanded arrest of the culprits. Posted by: Fred 2016-05-27 |
