India's political-religious party commemorated centenary of excommunication fatwa with an estimated number of 1.5 MM Shia Sunni participants.
Head of Majlis-e-Ahrar-ul-Islam, India's supporter of Muslim unity, Maulana Habib-ur-Rehman Ludhianvi said the first centenary of Qadiyanit fatwa is commemorated to strengthen the allegiance with fatwa issued by Maulana Shah Muhammad Ludhianvi in 1911, reported Taqrib News Agency (TNA).
Almost 1 million of the participants were estimated to be from Punjab and the rest from other Indian states where Shia and Sunni scholars highlighted Muslim unity.
Maulana Shah Muhammad Ludhianvi in 1911 issued a decree against Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadian who was announced to be the promised savior of Islam.
The issued decree turned into a movement which provoked much debate for more than two decades eventually excommunicating all Qadianit followers.
This year on April 10th, the first centenary of this historic move was celebrated in India's Punjab to remember the unique move as well as highlighting Shia Sunni unity.
