Minarets of three Ahmadi minority’s places of worship were destroyed by police and religious extremists while 31 Ahmadis who came to stop the desecration were booked in Punjab province of Pakistan, a community organisation said on Friday.

Jamaat-e-Ahmadiyya Pakistan (JAP) said the incidents took place in Sialkot and Faisalabad districts of Punjab, some 100 km and 130 km from Lahore, respectively, during this week.

A senior police officer told PTI that since minarets of Ahmadi worship mosques are similar to mosques, local Muslims objected to them, demanding their demolition.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
