Dear Zulfikar bhai,

Re: Issue of Media Room and Access to Cameras in the ladies Imam(as) bargah
We, concerned Members, who signed a petition to the Jamaat, which was presented to you on Friday 24 August 2012, wish now to raise this issue during the AGM.
As you are fully aware this issue has unnecessarily dragged for over two years.
This is despite numerous meetings in which we successfully detailed and described the weaknesses making the current media room systems very easy to abuse without being detected:
On 6 October 2012 you informed us that the jamaat executives have decided to install a cut-of-switch and promised that the switch will be installed within a couple of weeks and be operational before Muharram begins (16 Nov 2012) . This commitment was communicated to us after your consultation with Dr. Alidina as per your email to Hasin in which you committed:
"We have engaged Sheikh Alidina on this matter and he has assured us he will look into it and advise the course of action if any required. He has not reverted to us, and whenever he does, his recommendations will be acted upon."
A few days later, in October 2012, the Vice President, Azimbhai Dewji informed Hasin that the jamaat executive had decided to install the switch which will be operational before Muharram (which was approximately a month away).
Upon discovering that the commitment was not acted upon even six months later and raising the issue, the Vice President Azimbhai Dewji will give witness as how we were mislead with false reasons as to why the switch was not installed.
Eventually Zahirbhai conceded that the reason was that the jamaat executive have to listen to their volunteers, referring to the media room leadership.
On 26 Sep 2013 in a meeting in which Sheikh Alidina was present it was proven again how easily abuse-able the systems were with Sheikh himself testifying being approached by a media room member to spy on the momineen. However when asked to install the switch and work on a separate media room in the ladies imam bargah for controlling the ladies camera, it was rejected without any valid reason.
In spite of all the above, for reasons unknown to us, you have deiced to ignore and overrule your own decision on this issue, leaving members with no option but to raise it in the AGM.
Therefore do kindly allocate ample time for the discussion of this matter.
With salaams
Hasin, Mohammedraza, Muhamed, MuhammadMahdi, Jaffer, Imran, Zahir Et Al
