1984 in Pakistan

Anti-Ahmadi activities grew stronger and General Zia's government also took part in it. Ordinance XX was passed, which practically criminalized the Ahmadiyya faith. As a result, Mirza Tahir Ahmad had to migrate to England.

Pakistan won the gold medal in the 1984 Los Angeles Olympic games in the men's hockey event, beating Germany 2-1 and becoming Olympic champions for the third time.
