The System of Mushawarat in Jama'at-e-Ahmadiyya — Page 222

T he S ystem of M ushawarat in J am A‘ at - e -A hmadiyya Majlis-e-Shura does not mean that they should bring up matters concerning their organizations and thus create polarization. In the broader interest, they should only discuss the point o f view of the Jama'at. Likewise, the delegates o f Shura, whether or not they are related to the subordinate organizations, will not take up any such is sue. Hudur said: [English] “Excuse me. This is what I was afraid may happen. Now let me clarify one point without any ambi guity. This Shura is not o f Lajna or Khuddamul Ahmadiyya or Ansarullah. No discussion as such should be held. That is why when Khuddamul Ahmadiyya is permitted to speak on this forum, they are not permitted to discuss Khuddamul Ahmadiyya itself. Nor, on the other hand, other members who do not belong to Khud damul Ahmadiyya, who have come just to represent some Jama'at in Shura, are permitted to discuss Khud damul Ahmadiyya as such, Ansarullah as such, and Lajna Imaillah as such. What Lajna did was, and why I accepted this proposal for discussion, was that they tried to push the m ischievous child from their lap to the lap o f men and to the lap o f Jama'at as such. I accepted it tem porarily. I mean to return it to their lap o f course later on, but the discussion here only should be from the Jama'at point o f view , from men’s point o f view , from women’s point o f view , from children’s point o f view , alright, but not from the Lajna point o f view and the Jama’at point o f view , not in this polarization please. ” [Report International Majlis-e-Shura 1989, p. 126] 2 2 2
