There is no dearth of stories with a moral angle to emerge from Pakistan. Take this one, from BBC South Asia, describing how an Ahmadi family was forced to re-bury a relative because he was buried in a Muslim graveyard.
Ahmadis have had a raw deal in Pakistan. They were prominent in the Pakistan movement and in Jinnah's Muslim League, at a time when the predecessors of some of today's religious parties were opposed to the idea of a separate homeland for Muslims.
But in a country where reality is mobius-strip like, where foul is fair and untruth is truth, such historical inconveniences do not matter.
