VAKILS AND COURTS

The same is the case about his propaganda about the Vakils and the

Courts. It never had any chance of success. I shall not dwell however

upon this but would refer to Thana President's speech to which in

connection with education attention has been already drawn (App. VI). He

now puts them forth ostensibly for the purpose of compelling the

Government to redress the Punjab and other wrongs. As a fact he

advocated them long before that in 1908, as I have already pointed out

above. Here again it is sheer hypocrisy to say that they are advocated

not as an end in themselves but as a means for the redress of the Punjab

and Khilafat wrongs. He dare not openly advocate this as desirable in

itself as he would then be laughed at.
