When they become older the mother is not amused at these types of mistakes. ” MAY 11, 1952 I asked, “Huzoor, one day if it be the Will of Allah, I will write a book 31.

Will this book be the property of the Tehr ī k-e-Jad ī d?” Huzoor ra said, “If you present it to them, maybe they cannot use it. Then it will be your property. ” I said, “No, Huzoor, I mean can they lay claim to it if they want it?” Huzoor ra said, “Yes, of course. ” MAY 15, 1952 I asked, “Huzoor, why is it that the Pakistanis’ word does not mean much?
