As per details, son in law of ousted prime minister Nawaz Sharif Captain (retd) Safdar came under fire over his statements towards the Ahmadi community and he was also heavily criticized on social media as well.
So pathetic. Led by Capt Safdar members raised slogan hailing Mumtaz Qadri, convicted murderer. Where is law and why politicians are silent?

On Tuesday, Captain Safdar turned the National Assembly of Pakistan into a hate speech centre as he stated that "These people [Ahmadis] are a threat to this country, its Constitution and ideology". He further went on to say that he wants to table a resolution in the Assembly asking for a ban on the recruitment of Ahmadis in the armed forces.
