Bahria Town administration again accused of discriminatory action, Crossing all limits in Anti-Shia nias
Removes the Alam Hazrat Abbas (AS) from residential houses forcefully
Bahria Town Karachi, one of Pakistan’s largest housing developments, is once again embroiled in controversy, facing accusations of discriminatory practices and “anti-Shia animosity” after reportedly forcing the removal of religious symbols from residents’ homes.
According to reports, the housing society’s administration has been forcefully removing the Alam Hazrat Abbas (AS) – a significant religious banner for Shia Muslims – from residential properties. Sources indicate that when residents resisted these actions, their electricity and water connections were allegedly disconnected.
This incident marks another instance where the Bahria Town administration is accused of using coercive tactics to remove the Alam, a revered symbol of Hazrat Abbas Alamdar (AS), from the residences of Shia inhabitants and other devotees of the Ahl al-Bayt (the family of Prophet Muhammad).
The alleged actions have sparked outrage among affected residents and religious communities, who view the move as a direct attack on their religious freedom and an act of prejudice. Critics are calling for an immediate investigation into the matter and for measures to be taken to ensure such incidents do not recur.
