Ahmadiyas disowned: question mark over Indian secularism
By Omer Farooq
According to the Ahmadiya Jamat, it had sought permission for the now cancelled meeting in Hyderabad two months ago. Initially the State Government had refused to grant permission in view of the opposition and protest from Muslims. Consequently they went to the High Court and the court granted them permission only two days before the meeting was scheduled. On the advocate-general's objection that it could cause a law and order problem, the court observed that it was the duty of the Government to maintain law and order and provide protection to the meeting.
However, hours before the scheduled march to the venue, the Government issued a notice cancelling not only the Ahmadiya meeting but also all other functions in different auditoriums and buildings within the sprawling Public Gardens. The Muslim organisations have filed a caveat in the High Court, saying the Ahmadiyas should not be allowed to hold any public event in the name of Muslims and Islam.
