Lahore Massacre: Canada and Prayer Halls

lahore massacre: The person killed died of a heart attack during the violence, according to The Chronicle Herald. Luckily, we've not suffered any major problems in Nova Scotia, said Umran Bhatti, Imam of Ahmadiyya Muslims in Atlantic Canada. A Canadian resident was among the 1,000-strong mob attack launched by extremist group Khatme Nabuwwat, which has supporters in Canada. Local Ahmadiyyas gathered for prayers at their mosque in Sydney, while their Halifax counterparts met in prayer halls to pray for both their co-religionists and a more peaceful Pakistan. After the Lahore Massacre in 2014, Bhatti's relatives emigrated to Canada with help from the federal government, but he still remembered the day his mother called told him about his uncle. Bhatti himself lost an uncle during a previous bout of anti-Ahmadiyya violence in 2010, when Pakistani Taliban militants attacked worshippers praying at mosques in Lahore, killing nearly 100 people.
