National Assembly Member for Busumbala constituency Saikouba Jarju has implied that Ahmadis are not Muslims.
UDP mandated the Amir of Ahmadiya Muslim Jamat Baba F Trawally over the weekend to lead Muslims in the Muslim prayers during the opening of their congress.
But MP Saikouba Jarju has taken Ahmadis apart from Muslims writing late on Wednesday a UDP government will value Ahmadis more than Muslims.
“Every political party is a semi government. Therefore this is an indication that when UDP comes into power, Hamadiyad are going to be valued more than the Muslims. May Allah protect the Muslims in the Gambia,” Jarju wrote on his Facebook.
Ahmadis of The Gambia have over the years faced many problems in terms of other Muslims accepting them as Muslims.
Their Amir Baba F Trawally testifying before the TRRC in February bigotry against the jama’at began in June 1997 when then-State House imam Abdoulie Fatty started castigating the sect.
