Lahore: Hundreds of people from all parts of the country protested here on Monday against progressive religious scholar Javed Ahmad Ghamidi for his alleged remarks against Sufism in a private television programme.

Chanting slogans and holding banners and placards, the protesters took out a rally from the Lahore press club under the aegis of the Tasawwuf Forum Pakistan.

They also staged a sit-in to put pressure on the media to stop projecting Ghamidi, Dr Khalid Zaheer and Khursheed Nadeem.

The protesters were led by Tasawwuf Forum chief Organiser Khwaja Qutubuddin Faridi and Jamia Naeemia Principal Dr Sarfraz Naeemi.

Whats wrong with a person commenting on sufi school of thought. I find Mr Ghamdi's argument against sufism as a parallel religion rather a school of thought within islam, quite convincing.
