An Ahmadi doctor is arrested and held on blasphemy charges in Old Anarkali area of Lahore, it has been reported.

Dr. Masood, a British national, was attending clients at his clinic on Monday, November 25th, when two men posing as patients arrived at the clinic seeking treatment, local sources have informed Ahmadiyya Times.

According to the details, after medications were dispensed to the two men, they stayed to ask certain religious question which Dr Masood supposedly answered.

On a hidden camera footage made available to Ahmadiyya Times, Dr Masood is seen reading aloud the translation of a verse from the Holy Qur'ān.
After the two men left, several area clerics arrived at the clinic and started abusing Dr Masood, accusing him of blasphemous acts.

Old Anarkali police also arrived at the scene and arrested Dr Masood.

Police took the Ahmadi doctor to a closely located police station where a mob of local area clerics and religious thugs started to gather outside the police station demanding filing of blasphemy charges against the doctor.

Giving into mob’s demands police launched FIR 675/13, charging Dr Masood with Blasphemy under section 298-C of the Pakistan Criminal Code, the Ahmadiyya-specific part of the blasphemy laws.

During the late night hours police cut locks at Dr Masood’s clinic and hauled away materials, it was further learned.

Reportedly clerics and police relied on the hidden camera footage to level blasphemy accusation against the Ahmadī doctor.

According to the laws of Pakistan it is a criminal act for an Ahmadī to read the Holy Qur'ān or act in a manner that may be perceived as the Ahmadī is 'posing as a Muslim.'

In several past incidents of instigating people against Ahmadis and framing or filing of blasphemy charges, one Hasan Muavia, a Khatm-e Nubuwwat activist and a close relative of Mullah Tahir Ashrafi, chairman of Pakistan's clerics council, has been at the forefront.

Thus far, however, there is no confirmation if Hasan Muavia or Tahir Ashrafi are involved in instigating this incident against Dr Masood.

Ahmadiyya Times: Pakistan: A British national Ahmadī doctor arrested, booked on blasphemy by Lahore police

So Pakistani muslims get happy when Amitabh bachan read the Holy Qur'an but angry when an Ahmadi reads it. Zaid Hamid type logic...

Let's not forget this Ahmadi was serving the nation by returning to Pakistan, he could have easily lived in UK in comfort. Proves Ahmadis still love Pakistan.

Although I have my opinions but qadyanis but this is funny no non Muslim can be stopped from reading Quran in fact in west all the people who do daw ah they often distribut Quran to non Muslims and many many off those who read it convert to Islam @Aeronaut @Spring Onion

Did anyone bother getting a credible source on this topic before going all apeshit over this?

 

[halupridol]

since an Indian was questioning Pakistan's existence i gave you the same reply since low cast Hindus are discriminated in your own land then does it mean India should not exist ?

Secondly if your country resorted to cast based reservations then it means YOUR constitution did discriminate by failing to protect rights of low cast Hindus.

So dont give me catchy phrases here

discrimination....first go n look at its meaning....u'll understand how,where n in what context it is used.
dont just write anything that comes into ur brain

Dear according to Ahmadiyya Times This Dr. Masood has already got arrested before the said blog filed that news dated 26-November-2013 uder the Headline Ahmadi Doctor arrested, booked on Blasphemy by Lahore Police , and in detail they reveal 'Dr Masood is seen reading aloud the translation of a verse from the Holy Qur'ān.'

Below is your another post in which you provide the link of Express Tribune

@Spring Onion

Blasphemy: Man accused of preaching Ahmedi beliefs denied bail – The Express Tribune

Stupid logic these extremists use, first they ask him about his beliefs and when he explains they record him and file a case. This is a clear proof baiting an individual so you can prosecute him.

Express tribune reported the same news as under:

LAHORE:
A judicial magistrate on Saturday dismissed the post-arrest bail application of a doctor accused of preaching Ahmedi doctrines and distributing books containing derogatory remarks against prophets.

Dr Masood Ahmed had filed a post-arrest bail stating he had nothing to do with the matter.

Advocate Ghulam Mustafa Chaudhry, counsel for the complainant, said his client could produce audiovisual evidence to prove his allegations against Dr Ahmed.

Chaudhry said the respondent had preached Ahmedi doctrine to his client and given him books that blasphemed against prophets.

The magistrate observed that Dr Ahmed had been nominated in the FIR with a specific role. The witnesses’ statements also supported the prosecution’s case, he said. The books in question had been seized by the police. Prima facie, sufficient evidence was available to connect Dr Ahmed with the offence, he said and dismissed the application.

Maulana Muhammad Ehsan had filed a complaint against Ahmed with the Old Anarkali police. According to the FIR registered under Section 298-C, Ehsan had visited Dr Ahmed’s clinic with a few friends.

Ehsan said Dr Ahmed preached the Ahmedi doctrine to them and gave them some books that contained derogatory comments about certain prophets. Ehsan said he had audiovisual evidence to support his claims. He and his friends had called police who arrested Dr Ahmed and seized the books.

Now note

Express tribune filed that news dated 08 December, 2013 ..... as Blasphemy man accused of "Preching Ahmedi beliefs denied bail"

Now it might be not too dificult to observe the diffrence in both versions as Ahmedyyia time (an Ahmedhi blog) qouted the reson of Dr. Masood's arrest as the reading of Holy Quran while the Express Tribune (its pro Pakistani & Pro Mullah News paper ....... ) quoted that he was involved in preaching of Ahmedi Beliefs ....... so what should one consider its ..... as delibrate destortion or fabrication of news to falsly propogate about victamizations of 'particular community' ..... ???

secondly my dear you have showed your concerns about the word "pose" used in PPC 298-C, dear I belive you are aware that the word pose is also mean 'To represent oneself falsely; pretend to be other than what one is.' or also used as 'impersonate' which mean 'To assume the character or appearance of, especially fraudulently'
