Police personnel allegedly desecrated two worshipping places in the Ahmadiyya community in the past two days in Pakistan's Gujrat and Sheikhupura districts, media reports said.
Ahmadiyya community members told Dawn News that workers of Tehreek-i-Labbaik Pakistan approached their worship place in Shadiwal (Gujrat) and took pictures of Quranic verses written in the courtyard.
The TLP workers later lodged a complaint with Kunjah police to remove Islamic wording from the worship place.
The police directed the community members to cover the wording at the worship place.
The community members suggested raising a fibre wall around the worship place to hide the wording from the public view but the police did not listen to them, Dawn News reported.
The community members also claimed that the police called a labourer who painted the wall blue.
In another incident in Sheikhupura, police removed minarets of Ahmaddiyya community worship place under the pressure of the TLP workers, reports Dawn News.
Gujrat DPO Ahmad Shah Nawaz told Dawn that the police did not remove and desecrate any worship place of the Ahmaddiyya community.
