Sir
I am directed to refer to your letter
N0.6125-F., dated the 21st November 1932 and to say
that the Government of India see no reason at present
to ask that representations should be made in Tehran on
behalf of the Yarnaihammadzai Damanis in a matter which is
the domestic concern of the Persian Government and I am
to ask that 3 ardar Jiand Khan may be informed accordingly.
2. It should be clearly explained to
Sardar
Leader of a tribe or a polity; also refers to a military rank or title given to a commander of an army or division.
Jiand
Khan and his companions that the Government of India have
no intention of giving them any financial assistance what
ever and that permission to remain on their lands in
Kashkhel is contingent on their abstaining from using
this as a base for operations against Persia and on their
peaceful behaviour.
3. The Government of India attach importance to the
taking of the security referred to in your letter and I am
to ask that the result of your efforts to this end may be
communicated as early as possible.
