Lahore, Sep 25 (PTI) Religious extremists led by members of a radical Islamist party attacked the houses and shops of Ahmadis over the burial of an Ahmadi woman in Pakistan's Punjab province, an organisation representing the minority community said on Thursday.

According to Jamaat-e-Ahmadiyya Pakistan (JAP), the incident occurred this week in Piru Chak, Sialkot District, approximately 130 km from Lahore. Ahmadi woman Qudsia Tabassum, 55, died this week. When she was taken to the graveyard of Piru Chak for burial, a group of Muslim extremists reached there and obstructed her burial, it said.

"They said from now on no Ahmadi will be buried in that graveyard," it added.

After the Partition in 1947, this graveyard land was allotted to Ahmadis for the burial of their dead, the JAP said.
