Sectarian issues

When his car slowed down, a person approached him on his bike and shot him. In Pakistan, Ahmadis have been defined as heretics and non-Muslim and have been subjected to attacks, discrimination and persecution.Another Ahmadi Muslim, Dr Ashfaq Ahmad victim of target killing in Lahore
