It is a great pleasure to send a message of greeting to your Jalsa Salana. I am delighted that your annual convention is able to be held this year.
I continue to follow the many challenges faced by the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community and greatly admire your dignity and forbearance in the face of appalling provocations and persecution. I greatly admire the way in which you put into practice your belief in coexistence and your insistence that we should have a love of all and hatred for none.
I hope that the Jalsa Salana is a wonderful occasion and that it inspires you for the year ahead.
With kind regards,
David Alton
