Members and supporters of Hizb ut-Tahrir organized a demonstration today in Bashabo, Dhaka against the government's failure to solve the crisis of electricity, gas and water shortages in the country. They chanted slogans against the implementation of the capitalist system which is the root cause of people's sufferings. Nearly four decades of capitalism which manifested itself in various guises such as Mujibism, Ziaism, dictatorship and democracy has failed to ensure the basic necessities of life. This is because the capitalist system does not produce rulers who feel a sense of responsibility towards the people. They only secure their own benefits and the benefits of their cronies. For the past 39 years the foolish rulers in Bangladesh have had no vision to build a strong self-sufficient economy. Despite possessing gas and coal in abundance, the country ranks as part of the poor third world unable to meet the current demand of a meager 5,500MW of electricity. And while the people are frantically searching for water, these rulers are robbing the people by increasing their own salaries, by as much as 80%! To them applies the hadith of the Prophet (SAW),

Any person whom Allah has placed in (a position) of authority over the people and he does not look after them, he will not even smell the scent of Jannah.

The people participating in the demonstration called for the re-establishment of the Khilafah "Caliphate" state. This is the only solution to the Ummah's problems. The alternative to Sheikh Hasina and the Awami League alliance is not Khaleda Zia and the BNP alliance.

The rulers in the Khilafah "Caliphate" state will be responsible and accountable, acting in accordance with the hadith of RasulAllah (SAW),

The Imam is responsible and he is responsible for his subjects.

Moreover the Khulafah will implement the hadith of Muhammad (SAW),

Three things are not prevented from the people: water, pastures and fire.

Thus these things are public property according to the Islamic Shari'ah and the Khilafah "Caliphate" state will ensure electricity, gas and water for the people. More than this it will utilize the natural resources that Allah (SWT) has blessed the Ummah with, to build a strong self-sufficient economy making it into an economic super power.
