With all due respect, I call on the esteemed government to investigate my state of affairs and teaching as minutely as possible. Further, they ought to question under oath those of my community mem - bers who are respected officials, Indian officers, chieftains, and other honourable and educated persons, and who number in the hundreds, as to the instructions I have given to them with refer - ence to this benign government and the vigour with which I have advocated obedience to the state. Moreover, the government should closely reflect on the testi - mony of Maulvi Muhammad Husain—which he himself wrote in Isha’at-us-Sunnah as a review of my book Barahin-e-Ahmadiyyah and which has been alluded to in this treatise as well — about the views of both my father, Mirza Ghulam Murtaza and myself, with regard to the British government. Moreover, the eminent govern - ment ought to carefully study those writings of mine which have been published over the past nineteen years in their support; in fact, investigate me from every angle. If, after this, the government considers my state of affairs to be questionable then it is my ardent desire that the government ought to give me the severest of pun - ishments. However, if the reports of Muhammad Husain given to the government are found to be contrary to the facts, then as a loyal, well-wishing, and devoted citizen, I respectfully call on this benign government to admonish him for his false representations to the government, which contradict his own admission in his review of Barahin-e-Ahmadiyyah and which contradict the origi - nal view he held for twelve years without fail.
