Jamaat-e-Ahmadiyya Pakistan (JAP) said the incidents took place in Sialkot and Faisalabad districts of Punjab, some 100 km and 130 km from Lahore, respectively, during this week.

A senior police officer told PTI that since minarets of Ahmadi worship mosques are similar to mosques, local Muslims objected to them, demanding their demolition.
