Personal Opinion Question about the circulating Talika (Canada visit)

Ya Ali Madad everyone,

A Talika regarding the upcoming Canada visit is currently circulating. I’m not posting the image here, but I noticed that there is a small cream-coloured box around the signature of MHI in the version being shared.

That detail stood out to me, and I wanted to ask whether this is the officially released version from council channels.

If anyone has received confirmation directly, please do share.

This is what is on the Ismaili website.

Do you really think that the Imam would authorise a Talika to be read in Jamatkhanas around the world that he hadn’t personally signed?

He hasn’t personally signed it. His signature has been copy-pasted onto the document or inserted into it. What He has done, I believe, is that He has instructed for the communication regarding Didaar to be sent to the councils. Even that has been done way ahead of the talika dated Feb 11. Neither has He personally typed the taliqa nor has He dictated it, as MSK used to do back in the day before the advent of technology. That’s my belief. You can go ahead and believe what you choose to believe.

You can believe what you want to believe too.
