The System of Mushawarat in Jama'at-e-Ahmadiyya — Page 275
T he S ystem of M ushawarat in J ama ‘ at - e -A hmadiyya dwelling on trivial things, or merely repeating themselves. At times people have been seen to repeat themselves up to ten times. We should not waste time in this way and should endeavour to address the whole Agenda. With this in view, two changes have been proposed from now on. First, a time limit has been set for each sub committee within which it must complete its work. Sec ond, the practice in the past has been that whenever a proposal is tabled for deliberation, members begin to speak on it one after the other, and at times when people see other people speaking they, too, want to speak, though the proper way o f expressing their opinions is through the vote. It has, therefore, been, suggested that when a pro posal is read out those who wish to speak on it should come forward. Only these should then be allowed to speak and none else, because on such occasions people just stand up to speak when they see others speaking. If they really have something to say, they should express their desire to speak when the proposal has been read out, though in cer tain circumstances it becomes necessary to speak even afterwards. I believe that in this way we w ill be able to save time and the work w ill be completed in time. ” [Report Majlis-e-Shura 1927, pp. 6-7] 275
