The Federal Government Monday unveiled 37-year-old secret proceedings of joint sitting of the Parliament of 1974 that put Qadianis outside the pale of Islam.
The Speaker of the National Assembly released a 21-volume official report on the proceedings of the Special Committee of the whole House held in-camera to consider the Qadiani issue. The first in-camera joint sitting was convened in 1974 by the then Prime Minister, Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, to discuss the situation after anti-Qadiani riots.Business Recorder already has published an exclusive story on August 19, 2011, informing its readers that the Federal Government may unveil 37-year-old secret proceedings of the Parliament.

Very interesting News. Please keep us updated with how the Pakistani public views these publications (if at all?), any reaction or lack of it …
This is a very good and long awaited moment in our history.
I hope it is the complete report, not an abridged edition.
This is a happy news. Ahmadyya It was long awaiting to bring the trouth before the public for their independent openion. The report of proceedings be made available on websites and as book also.for the benifit of the general public.
The Speaker of National Assembly of Pakistan has not published full proceedings. The Special Committee recorded Mirza Nasir Ahmad’s statement on July, 22 and 23rd 1974.Then the Special Committee proceeded to cross examine Mirza Nasir Ahmad, Head of the Ahmadiyya delegation, from August 5, 1974. The vital Statement of the beliefs of the Ahmadiyya community (called Mahzar Nama) on wich the whole cross examination was based has been blacked out by the Speaker.The 21 volume proceedings ( from August 5, 1974 to September 7, 1974) contain only the cross examination and the allegations labelled against Ahmadiyya community, minus the Mahzarnama, which was integral part of proceedings. It is height of dishonesty to black out and exclude the vital July 22 and 23 1974 proceedings from the record. If there was no statement made by the Ahmadiyya head then what was that 21 volume cross examination about?
