Fearful of the ‘9th May Declaration’ the secret agencies are making failed attempts to contact Hizb ut-Tahrir members

Hizb ut-Tahrir’s mass contacting campaign to highlight the ‘9th May Declaration’ is in full swing. Through this declaration the hizb wants to convey an important message to the people of power of Pakistan which contains solution to all problems of Pakistan. Petrified of this strong campaign, America has instructed the Pakistani government to mobilize its resources against the Hizb.

In this regard, the secret service, ISI, has started its efforts to contact members of Hizb ut-Tahrir and their officers are visiting houses of Hizb members. These are the same secret agencies that shoved Hizb members in lockups after abducting them from their houses. All such tyrannical acts have gone in vain. But now they want to negotiate and “exchange views” with our members. We would like to remind them that Quraish also used similar tactics with the Messenger of Allah (saaw). When they saw that the Messenger (saaw) and his companions are not going to change their course due to torture and ill-treatment they softened down their attitude and contacted Abu Talib for negotiations based on the principle of ‘give and take’. They went even to the extent of proposing worship of Allah for one year and their gods for the next. But Qur’an rejected all such offers by declaring “to you your deen and to me mine”. Since the Hizb follows the methodology of Rasulullah (saaw) therefore she faces similar difficulties and tests in its course of struggle to that of Rasulullah (saaw) and his companions. The evil forces working to stop the Haqq (truth) also have the same old tactics which Quraish used fourteen hundred years ago.

We would like to pronounce this to the rulers and their master America that the Hizb doesn’t believe in any concessions or compromises and our intellectual and political struggle will continue until the establishment of the Khilafah which is clearly very imminent.
