Uscirf’s report shows increasing religious intolerance in Pakistan. It condemns the atrocities on the Ahmadiyas community, forced conversion of Hindu-Christian girls and misuse of blasphemy laws.
Chenab Nagar: It is being condemned worldwide for religious intolerance that has been deeply rooted in Pakistan. This has been reported in the recent country update of the US Commission on International Religius Freedom (USCIRF). According to the report of Rabwah Times, it has condemned the planned atrocities on Ahmadiyya Muslim community and forced conversion across the country and a worrying increase in violence related to blasphemy.
Ahmadiyas became the lives of people in Pakistan
According to Rabwah Times, the law of Pakistan openly discriminates against Ahmadiyya people. Themselves prevent them from calling them Muslims or following their religion in public. The USCIRF report saw a disturbing increase in violence against Ahmedia people in 2025, including demolishing 3 Ahmadiyas mosques in Punjab within 10 days in February.
Pakistani Muslims are selectively targeting Ahmedia
In April, a crowd of more than 400 people attacked another Ahmedia Mosque and brutally beaten to death by Ahmadiyya activist Laik Cheema. The police later arrested 13 people associated with the murder. In March, in Karachi, 2 Ahmedia men were attacked inside a court, one of which Tahir Mahmud died. In another tragic case, an Ahmedia man named Sheikh Mahmud was shot in Sargodha after receiving threats to kill him again and again.
Ahmadiyya treats people with a loudness of Pakistan
The report also explained how the authorities in Punjab kept Ahmadiyya people out of the property auction and even cases were registered against 42 members for praying in a private house. During Eid, the courts ordered the police to stop the Ahmedia people from gathering, due to which 22 Namazis were arrested in Sialkot.
The conversion of Hindu girls continues in Sindh-Punjab
Rabwah Times said- Forced conversion of Hindu and Christian girls continues in Sindh and Punjab, which often involves kidnapping, force and forced marriage. Legal reforms are limited to Islamabad only, and conservative religious bodies are dismissing new laws as “non-Islamic”. The report of USCIRF also condemned Pakistan’s tough blasphemy laws, under which hundreds of people are in jail. It has demanded abolishing these laws, preventing forcibly conversion and strong security for religious minorities.
