Many other common citizens rejected Atif Mian because they believed a man who has converted from Islam to Qadiyani and rejects the constitution of Pakistan should not be appointed on such post.

People also questioned why Atif Mian was appointed despite him being a regular critic of Pakistani constitution.
The appointed was cheered by some liberal thinkers and party members such as Fawad Chaudhry who initially defended the appointed and even called the opposition as extremists.

Didn’t take much for ‘tabdeeli’ to succumb to bigotry. Back to square one. The same old fears and politics in Naya Pakistan. What an anti-climax.

Despite few westernized thinkers who criticized Imran Khan and current government for removing Atif Mian was a step which was appreciated by the majority.

Malcolm X once said ” They’ll call you racists if you speak against their recism”
Same is the case with Qadyanis. As soon we speak against Mirza Ghulam’s bigotry and expose his agenda. They start labelling Muslims as bigots!#atifmian

Pakistani people clearly rejected #AtifMian
The elected ones must respect the feelings of Pakistanis.— Jabran Butt (@jabranbuttJI) September 7, 2018
Appoint any ‘minority’ as advisor for financial ministry. We have no issue ?#AtifMian doesn’t consider himself a minority & Islam doesn’t consider him Muslim.

Qadiyanis don’t want to believe in the finality of our Holy Prophet PBUH’s Prophethood but still want to be called Muslim. They don’t want to be considered a minority but still want their rights as a minority. Such confused and stubborn mindset can do no good to Pak. #AtifMian

It is said that Atif Mian was born and raised in a Muslim family but went USA on a scholarship where he converted and became a Qadiyani. His story about conversion is narrated in a qadiyani book ‘By the Dawn’s Early Light’. This book is comprised of small stories of Americans who converted and accepted Qadiyani religion which call themselves Muslims but are considered Non-Muslims by all Muslims.
