The government yesterday arrested 7 people from Uttara, Dhaka for protesting against the government's failure to solve the crisis of electricity, gas and water shortages in the country. Members and supporters of Hizb ut-Tahrir  were prevented by the police from gathering outside the Rajlokki HM Plaza mosque. The police searched the musallis and the public in the area and arrested 7 people of which 3 are activists of Hizb ut-Tahrir . This shameless action demonstrates clearly that the capitalist system does not produce rulers who feel a sense of responsibility towards the people. On the one hand they cause the people unbearable hardship while on the other hand they suppress the people for demanding their rights as citizens of the country. 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. For the past 39 years the foolish rulers in Bangladesh have had no vision to build a strong self-sufficient economy as a result of which the country ranks as part of the poor third world unable to provide the people with drinking water and meet the current demand of a meagre 5,500MW of electricity. 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 only solution to the Ummah's problems is the Khilafah "Caliphate" state. 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 according to the Islamic Shari'ah these things are public property and the state is responsible for managing these things. Therefore the Khilafah "Caliphate" state will develop the means for supplying people with clean water and with a vision of becoming a leading state, develop the capacity for exploring and extracting the abundant gas and coal which Allah (SWT) has blessed the Ummah with such that not only will the people have electricity and gas but the country's economy will be transformed into a self-sufficient industrialized economy.
