[ 30 ] Prime Minister said, ‘We invite them and also ask you to come and give an address. ’ The delegation was invited to an audience, and even there they did not hesitate to create mischief. In their address they used such words as to ques- tion the integrity of the Jam a ‘at. However, the Deputy Prime Minister was wise and he patiently listened to every- thing. At the end, he stood and spoke: Sir, what in the world are you talking about? When the whole world was indifferent toward Africa because it was considered a Dark Continent, and when Africa was synonymous with misery and suffer- ing, who was concerned about us? Even before you were born, it was the Ahmadiyyah Community that rescued us from the clutches of Christianity. It was the Ahmadiyyah Community that taught us higher human values. If you have come here to ask us to turn against this Community for your sake, then do away with this thought. Rather, take it back with you to your country. This Jam a ‘at is our benefactor. We may be anything else, but we are not ungrateful. Now these people [the authors of the White Paper] have forgotten all such incidents. They think nobody knows what is happening in Africa and that people will read the White Paper and conclude right away that this Jam a ‘at is vicious and worthy of annihilation. The world is well aware and is not stupid. The world knows what is happening.
