gene te the Hijriyin to perauade them to tauce action against
us which is contrary to friendship and peace, "e have already
informed you about the actions of the VJali since his arrival
at Sur hut you always repudiate these actions, how ws advise
you to remove the > ali from Sur because we observe that his
presence at Sur is harmful bo our country and would be a
cause for fmr disturbance. If any action be taken by /our
enemies we consider as if it has been done at his instigation
and your Government is responsible for It according te the
prlncipdes of friendship. The £ali is active in his doings i
