Raheel-Nawaz Regime Imprisons, Harasses and Abducts Sincere Advocates of Khilafah, whilst Traitors Roam Free

On 11th May, the Pakistani media widely reported on an article by American journalist Seymour Hersh, regarding the US raid on Abottabad four years ago in which Osama bin Laden was reportedly killed. The article detailed the extensive collusion of General Kayani and General Pasha with their colonialist masters in helping the US attack on their own country. It detailed their providing logistical, intelligence and military cooperation to ensure that the US raid was executed successfully and that the US marines were well protected and operated without interference.

Hizbut Tahrir severely accounted for traitors in the political and military leadership in their complicity with America, and negligence of duty towards Islam and Muslims, it issued a strong leaflet immediately after the Abottabad raid, addressing the sincere officers of Pakistan’s armed forces, highlighting the collusion of General Kayani and General Pasha with the US. Issued on 7th May 2011, the leaflet said:

“O Sincere Officers of the Armed Forces……. It is a slap in your face that this violation of Muslim Land was only possible with the complicity of those who command you, who took an oath as you did to protect this Muslim Land and its people from the enemy. Yet they broke that oath to adopt the role of cheap spies that spot the houses for their thieving masters to violate them. Does it not make your blood boil when you read of the extraordinary meeting between ISAF Commander US General Petraeus and your Army Chief, General Kayani, at Chaklala Airbase on 25 April 2011, to be followed that very same night with General Petraeus making a teleconference with a White House meeting chaired personally by US President Barack Obama. Then the very next day, the ISI Chief, General Shuja Pasha, made an unscheduled attendance to a meeting of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee, a meeting which he is not usually part of. It is this meeting that Obama hinted at when he haughtily announced the death of Bin Laden, saying, “And finally, last week, I determined that we had enough intelligence to take action, and authorized an operation to get Osama Bin Laden and bring him to justice.””

It was Hizbut Tahrir’s strong accountability that rattled the traitors in the political and military leadership. They had no response for the words of truth carried by its members, so they moved to target the party with a string of abductions across Pakistan which included the abduction of Hizbut Tahrir’s spokesman in Pakistan, the pious and sincere politician, Naveed Butt who was at the forefront of exposing Pasha and Kayani’s treachery. This 11th of May completes three years of his abduction by government agencies and his whereabouts are still unknown. We ask Allah for patience for him and his family and for Allah (swt) to secure his release and avenge him against those who oppressed him.

The Shabab of Hizbut Tahrircommit to their Lord that they will not waver in proclaiming the word of truth in front of the tyrants. They commit to continue until Allah sends His victory, which pleases the believers and humiliates the tyrants and their colonialist masters. Just like the Kayani-Zardari regime, Hizbut Tahriris at the forefront of accounting the Raheel-Nawaz regime for its subservience to the US and as a consequence dozens of its members have been arrested. They have been booked under false charges in an attempt to silence the party. And InshAllah the Hizb also had exposed the treachery of the Kayani-Zardari regime before it, the Raheel-Nawaz regime will find the party patient and steadfast against its oppression and would continue to expose its crimes against Islam and Muslims.

Hizbut Tahrir advises the sincere officers in the armed forces, the sincere politicians, thinkers and leaders of the Ummah; it does not help the Ummah if we vent our anger against the old regime and its crimes and we curse it and we seek its accountability, whilst the current regime perpetrates the same crimes, with the same, perhaps even greater intensity, against Islam and Muslims and we remain silent over it. Islam urges us to account the current rulers, the Raheel-Nawaz regime, which has launched a war on Islam in the garbs of the National Action Plan. So join hands with Hizbut Tahrirand earn the pleasure of Allah by working to remove these rulers and establish the Second Khilafah Rashidah which will punish all criminals and make an example out of the traitors. RasulAllah (saaw) said:

»أفضل الجهاد كلمة عدل عند سلطان جائر«
“The best Jihad is speaking a true word in the presence of a tyrant ruler.” [Abu Dawud and At-Tirmidhi].
