The System of Mushawarat in Jama'at-e-Ahmadiyya — Page 255
T he S ystem of M ushawarat in J ama ‘ at - e -A hmadiyya was taken regarding the Shura in Pakistan, which, at that time, was the only representative Shura for the whole world. So, there are some reasons, o f course. But, as far as proceedings are concerned, they are recorded com pletely, without any om ission, with all the opinions expressed, and they are w ell recorded. So, as far as the record goes, that practice would continue to be so, but as far as the publication o f the full report and distribution to all the Jama'ats is concerned, I do not want to elaborate on this point.

So, maybe after a while when the situation eases, we w ill publish them all together in one big volume, or small volumes as w ell. Previous reports were published, o f 255
