Joint Military Exercise ‘Sampriti 2017’:
Resist Deceptive Ploy to establish Indian Dominance over Bangladesh Army

India and Bangladesh Army have started a 13-day joint counter-terrorism training exercise, “Sampriti 2017”, in India’s Meghalaya and Mizorum from November 7, 2017. According to Indian Defense PRO, Col C Konwer, this exercise aims to send a strong signal to the world that both the country unitedly stands together against emerging ‘transnational terrorism’ (Times of India, November 3, 2017). Hizb ut Tahrir Wilayah Bangladesh strongly condemns this exercise with Mushrik India - the avowed enemy of Islam and Muslims, and urge the Muslims and sincere officers to resist the deceptive ploy to establish Indian dominance over our military.

We are infuriated to observe that treacherous Hasina is paving all the possible means for belligerent India to strengthen her dominance over Bangladesh army in the name of combating so-called terrorism. Hasina’s nefarious conspiracy to aid India to totally shatter Bangladesh armed forces began with her ascension to power in 2008 when soon after we witnessed the cold-blooded massacre of brave Bangladeshi military officers in Pilkhana, aimed to create a permanent disbelief between our military officers and soldiers that will weaken this institution permanently. And the conspiracy did not stop there, to penetrate Bangladesh defence institution more maliciously after getting some of the key top brass generals in her favor, India now wants to take control at the fresh commanding level of Bangladesh army as we know the participants of this ‘sampriti’ exercise consist of junior commanders.

Alas! how degraded we feel now due to this traitor political leadership that the coward officers of our enemy state India is now getting upper hand on our sincere officers to implement her cherished ambition to transform them to be subservient to protect her interests faithfully in Bangladesh. Thus, instead of stopping Indian border atrocity, traitor Hasina rather forcefully wants us to befriend terrorist state India that has killed 1391 unarmed Bangladeshi civilian at the border till now. She wants us to forget that the Indian backed terrorist organization “Shanti Bahini” has killed more Bangladeshis than any other so-called “transnational terrorists” did.

O Sincere Officers of Bangladesh Army! Your forefathers Khalid bin Walid, Muhammad bin Qasim, Muhammad Ghori, and Bakhtiyar Khalji forced death, captivity and treaties of surrender upon the chiefs and generals of mushrik enemies. While Hasina is staging all necessary preparation to make you subservient to the descendants of the defeated Raja Dahir, Prithvi Raj and Lakshman Sen, who plotted to kill your brothers at Pilkhana, and are continuously plotting against you. Alas! What a disgrace and humiliation she brought upon to you! How much longer will you tolerate the treachery of Sheikh Mirjafor Hasina?

Hizb ut Tahrir, calls you towards the life of victory, power, honour, dignity and glory, as promised by our beloved Prophet, Muhammad (saw): «يَغْزُو قَوْمٌ مِنْ أُمَّتِي الْهِنْدَ، فَيَفْتَحُ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ حَتَّى يُلْقُوا بِمُلُوكِ الْهِنْدِ مَغْلُولِينَ فِي السَّلاسِلِ، يَغْفِرُ اللَّهُ لَهُمْ ذُنُوبَهُمْ، فَيَنْصَرِفُونَ إِلَى الشَّامِ فَيَجِدُونَ عِيسَى ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ بِالشَّامِ»“A group of you will conquer India, Allah will open for them [India] until they come with its rulers chained; when they return back [from India] - Allah having forgiven their sins - they will find Isa ibn Maryam in Syria.” [Na'im b. Hammad in al-Fitan reports from Abu Hurayrah]

This promise will only materialize under the leadership of the Khilafah (Caliphate) upon the method of the Prophethood. So gather and organise yourselves; remove Hasina from power; and handover authority to Hizb ut Tahrir. And, we will re-establish the righteous Khilafah state and lead you and the Muslim Ummah to once again walk the path of victory, power, honour, dignity and glory; this victorious march will start from South Asia, Insha’Allah.
