In Luton United Kingdom, A local Sunday newspaper (Luton on Sunday) Publish a instigating article (The Ahmadiyyah Muslim community Celebrates 125 year) in which they clearly mentioned Ahmadiyyah community as Muslim community. After this action, Muslims in Luton got annoyed and angry at the article featured on LoS. Many of them telephoned their local Masjid expressing the same. All the Mosques took immediate steps to manage the situation.

Before the situation gets worse Prof. Masood Hazarvi (Al-Hira Educational centre) and Molana Qazi Abdul Aziz Chishti (Jamia Ghaunsia Luton) called an emergency meeting for all of mosques in Luton. In which almost all of them were present. This meeting lasted for about two hours, in which they formed a forum named as Preservation of Finality of Prophet hood (PFP Forum) all of them selected seven members committee to lead the forum.

After this they reported the issue to LoS. And arranged a meeting on Fridy 4th of april with Chief editor to discuss the issue. In this meeting the PFP. forum committee expressed their concerns to LoS. and told them that The article insults the beliefs of Muslims, thus the article was a distortion and made false claims, and newspaper was responsible for any reaction towards this instigating article. And we hardly tried to calm the peoples of Muslim community from provoking.

And asked them that:

The Muslim community of Luton expects LoS to disassociate itself from the contents of the advertisement by making a corresponding printed statement on next Sunday.
