An Announcement

Seven people Sri Lanka join the Lahore-Ahmaidyya Movement on the same day.

It's expansion has increased many times since Ahmadis were declared to be kafirs (heretics) by the government of Pakistan and, some years ago, severe restrictions placed on its activities. This brings to light the real reason for banning us from printing our literature in Pakistan - the fear that if people find out our real beliefs then they will incline to join us.
