Islamabad: Pakistan’s Federal Minister for Defence Naveed Qamar on Tuesday said that no government employee has the authority to declare Ahmadis as Muslims.
According to the constitution of Pakistan, Ahmadis are declared as non-Muslims and they cannot use anything having resemblance to Muslim ideology.
Jang reporter Ansar Abbasi on Monday pointed out that a diplomat in a foreign country invited several Muslim Pakistanis to attend a conference organized by Ahmadis.
He indicated that the official sent invitations to Pakistani community via emails saying that the main cause of the convention was to counter the propaganda against an anti-Islam film, Innocence of Muslims. He further said that literature of Ahmadi community was also distributed among the participants of the convention.
“Civil servants are bound to work according to the constitution,” the minister said adding that he would launch an investigation into the matter.
