Ban on Ahmadiyya books

How does the government have come to know that the Ahmadiyya publications hurt or would hurt the sentiments of the 'majority Muslims'. We never heard the 'majority Muslims' voicing such a feeling . If any opposition has ever been expressed to Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamaat , it has been done either by those political bigots or a religiously fanatic segment of our society who are obviously not the representatives of the 'majority' Muslims. On the other hand, if the government is responsible for protecting the interests of the 'majority', it must also be responsible for protecting that of other minority groups, if it is not autocratic.

There are at least one lakh Ahmadiyya Muslims in our country. The government has already taken a move believed to be the first step towards declaring these people as non-Muslims. What absurdity! These people are Muslims not by any declaration and they cannot be made 'non-Muslim' by a decree . Religion is not a matter of 'declaration' but a matter of belief.
