The government and local clerics refused to shelter around 500 flood-affected families belonging to the Ahmadiyya community in South Punjab’s relief camps. Not only that, the government also did not send relief goods to the flood-hit areas belonging to the Ahmadiyya community, The Express Tribune has learnt during a visit to the devastated Punjab districts of Muzaffargarh, Dera Ghazi Khan and Rajanpur.

For its part, the government claims that all relief goods are being distributed among survivors without discrimination. And that all survivors have been sheltered in relief camps without distinction. The flood-devastated families from the Ahmadiyya community have strongly criticised the government’s “discriminatory attitude” even at a time when the entire country is reeling from the ravages of the worst flooding in living memory.

Muhammad Iqbal Sohrani, a member of the Ahmadiya community told The Express Tribune that around 40 Ahmadi families who took shelter in a state-run school at Jhakar Imam Shah near Sumandri, some 40 kilometres from DG Khan, have not received any relief either from philanthropists or from the government. He alleged that relief packages were being distributed through local lawmakers who have been told by the district administration that the Ahmadis are not eligible for any support.

Saleem Chandia, another Ahmadiya community member, said that he along with 40 other community members rented a house but after two days their landlord was forced by local clerics to evict them. Chandia said they were offered help by their own community members after wandering for several days in search of shelter.

1. Pakistan is ruled by a cabal of Wahabi Punjabis and all

minorities like Christians, Hindus, Parsis, Sikhs have been practically eliminated with a systematic campaign.

Now they have turned against the minority Islamic sects and oppressing the Ahmadiyas, Bohras, Sufis and Shias.

It is sick that we even consider them as allies when their entire being is so antithetical to the principles Americans value so much.

3. Oh, this isn't recent.

The Ahmadiyyas' status as pariahs goes back decades, long before Sa'udi influence was on the increase in the area.

This is native Pakistani Muslim bigotry and intolerance. It's just a deadringer for Muslim intolerance in other countries.

By having a post-final prophet, the Ahmadiyyas don't properly submit in the natural order of things. And submission is the name of the game.
