Ahmadi civil servant transferred amid campaign by anti‑Ahmadi groups

Nagman Ahmad, an Ahmadi Muslim serving as Assistant Director of Land Records in Lalian, was abruptly reassigned to the Punjab Land Records Authority headquarters on August 8. The move came after a sustained public campaign by members of the Khatam‑e‑Nabuwat organization, who labeled him with a sectarian slur and demanded his removal. The IHRC noted that the order did not explain why Ahmad had to report to headquarters, suggesting the decision was purely reactionary. The organization described the transfer as a victory for the extremist campaign and called for accountability from provincial officials, emphasizing that religious intolerance in public institutions threatens the rights of all Pakistani citizens.
