Qutb-ul-mulk argued that they had no quarrel with the Prince, why should they meet him with force? Why not seat him on the throne?

"If Agra were a fort of steel set in an encircling ocean, he would with one blow from his finger strike it down, so that beyond a little mud and dust, no sign of it should be left on earth.'' Who were these "crows," these few wretches, who had dared to interfere with their designs! All haste must be made to suppress the outbreak by force.*
