In a Special Speech delivered on 17 May 2012, the Khalifatullah Hadhrat Munir Ahmad Azim Sahib (atba) of
Mauritius spoke succinctly on a range of world and national issues, and
religious and political developments.
The Speech was made in the backdrop of
Divine Revelations and it included many comments that were prescient and
prophetic, waiting to be unveiled in the fullness of time. Almost three years
down the timeline from that Speech, it is astonishing to reflect on the
extraordinary Light of Truth the short document represents in many ways. For instance, the fall of the then political regime at the hands of the people and the unravelling of its corrupt deeds were clearly foretold in a revelatory language familiar to the readers of the Qur'an where (future) events are described in phrases denoting something that has already taken place:
"Only Allah can
“dethroned” them (the present Government) and bring them to their destruction,
towards their great humiliation and in such a way that the people
(citizens of Mauritius) turn against them. Thereafter we shall
come to know how many frauds and corruption were done during their mandate".
In a previous article in this series, we have already noted
how the judicial system in Mauritius is indeed seeking to catch up with the
former Prime Minister Navin Ramgoolam and his coterie of men and women for their unlawful
activities and criminal offences. For reading the same, click here. In this article, we shall seek to
unravel yet another issue discussed on the occasion of the Special Speech-
the then raging national debate over the effectiveness of the government's strategies to regain possession over the Chagos Islands, over which Mauritius
has, for long, raised historic title and legal claims; though in reality and in
fact, these islands remain the British-administered island territories in the
Indian Ocean.
