Traders strike over Punjab Medical College (PMC) issue
Traders to observe Strike tomorrow: PMC students' issue
Faisalabad, July 02, 2008: The Anjuman-i-Tajran (AT) and clerics of different
sects announced observing a shutter down strike on Thursday (tomorrow) to
protest what they called the Punjab Medical College (PMC) and district
administration's leniently dealing with the issue of Ahmedi
students.
AT president Shahid Razzaq Sakka
and secretary-general Mehmood Alam said traders had been demanding action
against Ahmedi students, who were found preaching their faith at the PMC and
removed the posters of Muslim religious gathering.
They said the DPO and
the DCO held talks with them a couple of days ago and promised that action would
be taken against the miscreants, but in vain.
Earlier, they said, they
had withdrawn their protest call for June 26 after the district administration
promised action against the responsible.
However, now strike call would
not be withdrawn at any cost, they said and added that if the administration
intended to stop traders and clerics from observing the strike, they would
announce lodging a case under section 295 of the Pakistan Penal Code.
All
trade bodies had been informed and taken into confidence over the issue and they
were also supporting the stance of the AT, they added.
Meanwhile,
executive committee of the Faisalabad Chamber of Commerce and Industries also
condemned the preaching by Ahmedi students.
Through a resolution passed
unanimously, they demanded the rustication of all Ahmedi students from the PMC
and registration of a case against them. Dawn

"There is no doubt that Non-Ahmadis can be better Muslims than us but those who conducted this shameful act should assess themselves first. Secondly, The religion we belong to teaches us peace love and forgiveness...We have long beards as Holy prophet PBUH had but having beards does not make us a good muslim...We follow Holy Prophet PBUH because he is the Best Example. similarly he is the best example in peace...forgiveness...tolerance. And most of us are not following those things...and we think that we are good muslims...the last thing i want to say is that ISLAM CANNOT BE PREACHED BY FORCE...IT HAS TO BE A PEACEFUL PROCESS! ."
