Rewarding Hasina with a D.Litt. Degree for Signing the Agreement with India to Purchase Indian Defense Equipment with Indian Credit of $500 Million will not make the People forget either that India is our Hateful Enemy or the Role of India in the Heinous Killings in Pilkhana with the Support of this Regime

India is going to present Sheikh Hasina a D.Litt. degree as a reward for the recently signed agreement to purchase obsolete Indian defense equipment with India loan.

India’s Prime Minister Norendra Modi invited Sheikh Hasina for a two day’s visit (25-26 May, 2018) when she is to inaugurate the Bangladesh Building in the VisvaBharati University, and is to be conferred an honorary (!) D. Litt degree. Other than that, it is certain that in the “informal” meeting between Norendra Modi and Sheikh Hasina, there will be no agenda in the interest of Bangladesh.

It should be mentioned that on May 9, 2018, Bangladesh signed a submissive “Framework Agreement” with India to utilize a $500 million line of credit which the latter had boasted about as an offering from her for the prosperity and strengthening of Bangladesh’s defence.

What a disgraceful event with the enemy state that has brought a true national shame for our military! What a grand conspiracy by the subservient Awami League (AL) regime to cripple Bangladesh military permanently at India’s behest! This is not an ‘agreement’ per se; this is rather a traitorous ‘collaboration’ with enemy India by the hateful AL government at the expense of people’s wealth and subjugation.

From ideological (Islamic) and geopolitical imperatives, Bangladesh military have been destined to conquer India – a vision that has been carried in the hearts and minds of our brave officers and soldiers all along. For India also, Bangladesh military has always been a formidable force that got evident when India had to accept a shameful defeat in Padua and Rowmari border war during her incursion into our territory in 2001. But by bringing AL back into power and having it orchestrate the heinous Pilkhana Mutiny in 2009, India has been executing all her nefarious plans to paralyze our military by all means.

This $500 million collaboration plan is also a part of it to make our military fully dependent on harmful loans and obsolete weaponries of a country that poses the biggest threat to Bangladesh’s sovereignty.

Moreover, other than being total sell-outs, no one would find an iota of sincerity in the decision to import defense equipment from India, whereas the country (India) herself is the largest arms importer of the world! As India wants to transition from an importer of weapons systems to an exporter which was expressed by Indian government’s secretary of defense production Ajay Kumar (India Today, April 5, 2018), AL government is paving the way for India to export inferior equipment into this country, thus making this nation indebted. When the Indian Army itself rejected Indian-made rifle for the second year in a row after it reportedly failed quality tests, and when Indian made products like Arjun tanks, light combat aircraft and even bullet-proof jackets often can’t be used on the sensitive China or Pakistan borders because of its inferior quality (“India struggles to match China as elite world weapons exporter”, The Economic Times, Feb 01, 2018), how could there be any sane reason to buy those inferior equipment except that the reason is to bribe India by the AL government as a bid to return in power once again.

O Sincere Officers in Bangladesh Military! How long will you tolerate the continuation of humiliation and disgrace being brought upon you by this subservient government in support of her Mushrik master? Through the murder of your brothers in Pilkhana, your arch enemy India started her war against you to systematically dismantle your mighty institution to place it at her mercy. First, you were being forced to participate in the India-dominated joint drill and get habituated to be under the command of those who killed and mutilated the bodies of your brothers in arms. And now, you will be coerced into buying the obsolete and low-grade Indian weaponries by your ruler so that you essentially become a feeble enemy force against India in times of war.

These despicable lackey rulers can only bring shame and dishonor upon you as they have made alliance with the Kuffar and the Mushrik who desires your ruin only. They have chosen the path that Allah Azza Wa Jal has forbidden:

(يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لاَ تَتَّخِذُوا عَدُوِّي وَعَدُوَّكُمْ أَوْلِيَاءَ تُلْقُونَ إِلَيْهِمْ بِالْمَوَدَّةِ وَقَدْ كَفَرُوا بِمَا جَاءَكُمْ مِنْ الْحَقّ)

“O you who believe do not take My enemy and your enemy as allies, meeting them with softness. Indeed, they disbelieve in that which has come to you of truth.” [Surah Mumtahina 60:1]

O Courageous Officers! It is high time that you gave your allegiance to Hizb ut Tahrir for the reestablishment of the second righteous Khilafah (Caliphate) under the brave leadership of its Ameer, eminent scholar and politician Sheikh Ata Bin Khalil Abu Al-Rashtah. It is the time to break the back of this arrogant Mushrik state that has not enough ammunition to last even more than 10 days if war breaks out, according to statement of Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) of India (“India doesn't have ammunition for a long war, key concerns in CAG report explained”, India Today, July 23, 2017). Remove your support from these treacherous rulers who instead of making you stronger in front of your enemy, have been trying to be a cause of your perilous weakening before India. Let us walk in the footsteps of your ancestors, the great military commanders like Sa’ad bin Muad (ra) and Muhammad bin Qasim (r) and move forward in good heart toward dignity and honor as Rasulullah (saw) had promised victory if you move in support of Islam and its Deen.
Thawban reported that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said:

«عِصَابَتَانِ مِنْ أُمَّتِي أَحْرَزَهُمَا اللَّهُ مِنْ النَّارِ عِصَابَةٌ تَغْزُو الْهِنْدَ وَعِصَابَةٌ تَكُونُ مَعَ عِيسَى ابْنِ مَرْيَمَ عَلَيْهِمَا السَّلَام»

“Two groups of my Ummah Allah has protected from the Hellfire: a group that will conquer India and a group that will be with 'Isa ibnu Maryam” [Ahmad and An-Nisa'i].
