Haji Mehdi bin Ahmad bin Saif,not<'ble of Bahrain st? tea on 3.A.—
The activities of Jasim A1 Chirawi are so well known that it seems
to me unnnecessary to state anything.He is ?n intriguer nd adventurer
and spends his time in mrking inflammatory utterances agfiS^^the
Agency An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, headed by an agent. and stirring people up.He always makes bad feeling between
subjects of the Shaik and anyone who is suspected of being well
disposed towards the Agency An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, headed by an agent. .His policy has been to terrify everybody,
from being on good terms with the Agency An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, headed by an agent. .It has become so m&r^ed
that people are afraid even to visit the Agency An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, headed by an agent. because shortly
afterwards J? aim A1 Chirawi invents some excuse f) r complainig againsl
ttam to Shaik Abdulla who is his patron t and between them they always
manage to deal out some sort of punishment. He has lately been,
engaged in endeavouring to frighten many of us who are Bahrain
subjects to cause us to sign a document against the ."unicipality•
,^ome 3f the 3haik f s subjects out of pure fear of consequences of
not signing,have signed such a document.His objedt is purely because
the Baladieh is known to be supported by the Agency An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, headed by an agent. and gives us
ghe first measure of protection end freedom which we have seen in
our lifetime in Bahrain. Formerly tha affairs of Nanameh of the re ^st
or the Island were entirely in the hands of 3haik Abdulla and of
Jasim A1 Ghirawi and a small prrty.who oppressed people in every
possible way.Neither our property, igcx our women folkx nor-ourselves
being safe. I have heard Jasim A1 Chirawi state that n I will not
cease my agitations,until I ^ave defeated 3haik Hamad and the
Agency An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, headed by an agent. and got affairs again entirely in Shaik Abdulla T 3 hands.
I will not let ihaik Hamad achieve anything he wants till he will
himself resign f and to achieve this I will get the Agency An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, headed by an agent. into such
repute that nobody will care what they order".
I know hundreds of people who will tell you this,
but they must feel sure that they will not be exposed unless you
will give them British protection.3ome of us who signed a simple
petition of thanks to Shaik Hamad and yourself have been persecuted
since by Shaik Abdulla and Jasim "1 Chirawi. and have been told the
reason for this persecution.
