ILLNESS Hadrat Maulw i Nur-ud-D i n ra — Khalifatul Masih I 234 We have prepared a memorial for this purpose to be submitted to the Governor- General. But as the purpose is common to all Muslims we deem it necessary that before the memorial is submitted, its purport should be conveyed to the Muslim public, newspapers and associations so that they might lend it their support through resolutions, declarations, articles etc, and the government being convinced of this need of the Muslims, due provision may be made for it. We are concerned only that as this is a common need of all Muslims, the proposed request may be submitted to the Governor-General with the unanimous support of all Muslims. It is not our desire that we alone should submit it. As God has moved us in this behalf, we have put forward this proposal. Should any Muslim association or body take exception to it merely because we have put it forward, we shall gladly hold back provided some other appropriate method is adopted for conveying the request to government. " 104 A suggestion was made from ‘Al i garh that the proposed memorial should be submitted on behalf of the All-India Muslim League. Hadrat Khalifatul Masih ra signified his assent. In consequence of the memorial government granted the desired facility to Muslims.
