The Riots of 1953 — Page 81
81 Q. Is General Haya-ud-Din an Ahmadi? A. He used to be an Ahmadi but I am not sure whether he is one now. Q. Is Mr. Ghulam Ahmad, Principal, Government College, Rawalpindi, an Ahmadi? A. No. Q. Was the Indonesian Ambassador in Pakistan who preceded the present Ambassador an Ahmadi? A. He was definitely not of the Qadian Branch of the Ahmadis but I cannot say whether he belonged to the Lahore Branch. In 1953, however, the Ambassador was definitely not an Ahmadi. To Maulana Maikash continued:- Q. Did you say in your khutba what is reported in the “Alfazl” of 3rd January 1952, Ex. D. E. 326? A. The report substantially represents the sense of what I said though I cannot be sure of the words reported. I said all this in reply to the editorial in the “Afaq” dated 6th December 1951. Q. In this report there is a reference to yourself or to some successor of yours being the future conqueror of Pakistan? A. You are misreading the report. There is nothing of that kind in it. (NOTE:- Despite our assurance that anything said by Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Sahib or by the witness or any- thing published in any one of the Ahmadiyya publications would be treated by the Court as independent evidence, almost all the questions which have so far been put relate to such writings. It is a sheer waste of time and we are not prepared to allow further questions on this subject. )
