Islamabad, Nov 27 (PTI) A female IT
student from the minority Ahmadi
community in Pakistan has been
expelled for allegedly tearing up an
anti-Ahamdi poster from the campus
of a leading technical institute. Rabia Saleem, a student at Comsats
Institute of Information Technology in
Lahore, was accused of blasphemy for
her action, with many co-students
demanding her "head". While the event was not reported by
mainstream media, according to
ahmaddiyatimes.blogspot.com, Saleem
tore up an-anti Ahmadi poster pasted
on campus. "Rabia Saleem, a female Ahmadi
student of the final year, was accused
of blasphemous actions by the student
wing of a terrorist organisation,
Tahaffuz-e-Khatima-e-Nabuwwat...,"
read the post titled "Education institution Comsats harbours
extremists, expels Ahmadi student". A hostel guard allegedly spotted
Saleem removing the poster and then
accused her of blasphemy though
there was no Ayat or Hadith written on
it, Al Ufaq, another online group,
quoted Saleem''s fellow student as saying. Rasheed Ahmed Khan, the registrar of
the Comsats Institute, has denied any
connection between Saleem''s faith
and her expulsion. "Rabia Saleem has
been expelled for violating the
discipline of the institution and not complying with the rules and
regulation," Khan told Al Ufaq. There have been several terrorist
attacks on the Ahmadis across
Pakistan in the past two years,
including an assault of two mosques
by militants that killed about 90
people.
