Pakistani authorities did not permit Ahmadis in Rawalpindi district to offer Eid-ul-Fitr prayers at their mosque after false propaganda and baseless accusations against the place of worship, a spokesperson for the community said on Wednesday.
Jamaat-e-Ahmadiyya Pakistan spokesperson Saleemuddin told PTI that the government and local administration had violated Article 20 of the Constitution by stopping Ahmadis from congregating for Eid prayers on Monday.
