Islamabad: A mob of extremists, with the help of cops, demolished a Ahmadi mosque in Garmola Virkan village of Pakistan's Gujranwala district on Wednesday, a journalist claimed on social media recently.

Pakistani Journalist Bilal Farooqi tweeted: "A mob of extremist mullahs, with the help of police, demolished the dome & minarets of an Ahmadi mosque in Garmola Virkan village, Gurjranwala district and also desecrated the kalima inscribed on it. Will the Punjab govt please take action against these goons?"
