The USA's Oregon Governor Theodore Kulongoski, accompanied by the Oregon National Guard State Partnership Program team is in Dhaka for a four-day visit with Bangladeshi political, civilian and military leaders. According to information available from US National Guard website, www.ngb.army.mil, the State Partnership Program, which started in 1993, is a program under each State National Guard's Combatant Commander. The value of the SPP is its ability to focus the attention of a small part of the Department of Defence - a State National Guard - with a single country or region in support of US Government policies. It is basically a part of US plans for establishing control over the militaries of various countries worldwide. The Oregon National Guard is dedicated to achieving this cause in Bangladesh. And Sheikh Hasina, the enemy of Islam and Muslims, agent of US-India-Britain is facilitating the crusader US military to consolidate its hold over the Muslim Army of Bangladesh. 

Furthermore, the US National Guard is a joint reserve component of the US Army and US Air Force; and its purpose is to participate in America's wars to serve her national interests. The US deployed 75,000 National Guard ground and air force members in ‘operation desert storm' against Iraq in 1991. And since 9/11 as part of the war against Islam which has now outlasted the 1^st and 2^nd World Wars, America has deployed thousands of National Guard forces in Iraq and Afghanistan who are on active duty killing Muslims. By welcoming these murderers, the government of Sheikh Hasina is doing no more than demonstrate her total disregard for the lives and honour of Muslims.

Hizb ut-Tahrir strongly condemns the visit of these murderers in our land. The party calls upon the Muslims not to allow Sheikh Hasina, the treacherous enemy of Islam and Muslims to destroy our Muslim Army by facilitating US-Indian control. The party also calls upon the Muslim Army of Bangladesh to disregard Sheikh Hasina's instructions and not shake hands with the murderers of our brothers and sisters. Furthermore, Hizb ut-Tahrir calls upon them to overthrow the Hasina government from power and give nusrah to the party to re-establish the Khilafah "Caliphate" which will free the Islamic Army from the domination of the disbelievers and polytheists.
