- The Lahore riots of 1953 were a series of violent riots against the Ahmadiyya Movement, a faith marginalized in Pakistan, mainly in the city of Lahore, Pakistan as well as the rest of Punjab, which were eventually quelled by the Pakistan Army who declared three months of martial law. The demonstrations began in February 1953, soon escalating into citywide incidents, including looting, arson and the murder of somewhere between 200 to 2000 people, while thousands more were left displaced. According to the official inquiry conducted by the Punjab Government the actual number killed in these riots were around 20 people. The page one of the inquiry says "Before the declaration of Martial Law, the police had to resort to firing in several places and at least two persons were killed on the night of 4th March and ten on 5th March, Sixty-six persons more must have been injured in the firing because that number of wounded persons admitted to the Lahore hospitals had gunshot wounds. The number of casualties admitted by the military to have been caused in quelling the disturbances in Lahore was eleven killed and forty-nine wounded. In some other towns also there were a number of casualties caused by firing by the police or the military.". Official Unable to contain the increasingly widespread civil disorder, Governor-General Ghulam Muhammad handed over the administration of the city to the army under Lieutenant General Azam Khan, imposing martial law on 6 March. One of the major controversial differences between Ahmadis and mainstream Sunni and Shia Muslims is their different interpretations of Khatam an-Nabiyyin. Mainstream Sunni and Shia Muslims are awaiting the coming of the Mahdi and the Second Coming of Jesus and reject the claims of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad whom Ahmadis believe to be the Promised Messiah and Mahdi. The Ahmadiyya Community was a vocal proponent of the Pakistan Movement and were actively engaged with the Muslim league having strong relations with many prominent Muslim Leaguers and were opposed to the Congress backed Majlis-e-Ahrar-ul-Islam. After the independence of Pakistan in 1947, Ahmadis prospered and reached many high ranking Government and Military positions in Pakistan, due to an extremely high Literacy rate. They held up stay as an important political force in Pakistan, due to its support for secularism and acted as a counterbalance to Majlis-e-Ahrar-ul-Islam. This group was disillusioned and disorganized after 1947 and politically isolated. Even before partition one of its primary targets was the Ahmadiyya movement. However, in 1949, the Majlis-e-Ahrar launched countrywide campaigns and protests resulting in a ban on Majlis-e-Ahrar in 1954. (en)
- Лахорские волнения 1953 года — насилие против движения Ахмадие в городе Лахор, которые были подавлены армией Пакистана. Демонстрация началась около февраля, и вскоре переросла в общегородские случаи убийств, грабежей и поджогов, направленных против Ахмадие. Атаки были спровоцированы политической партией Джамаат-э-Ислами во главе с Абуль-Алой Маудуди, суннитским богословом и критиком движения. Не желая большего распространения гражданских беспорядков, генерал-губернатор Гулам Мухаммад передал администрацию в городе генерал-лейтенанту Азам-хану и ввел военное положение 6 марта. Возвращение к нормальной жизни в Лахоре генерал-губернатор видел при когерентном руководстве Азам-хана. Предполагаемый агитатор беспорядков Маудуди и тогдашний генсек Мусульманской Лиги Авами, Маулана Абдул Саттар Хан Ниязи, были арестованы и приговорены к смертной казни, но их приговоры были впоследствии смягчены. Беспорядки также принесли огромные политические последствия; Гулам Мухаммад первым уволил Миана Мумтаза Даултана с поста главного министра Пенджаба в марте, до увольнения всего кабинета первого премьер-министра страны, Хаваджа Назимуддин, 17 апреля и назначения вместо него Мухаммада Али Богра.
