Members of Hizb ut-tahrir delivered public speeches after Jummah prayers today outside various mosques in Dhaka, Chittagong and Sylhet where they said poverty, unemployment, price hike, electricity crisis etc are the result of the kufr democratic system; and the Khilafah "Caliphate" is the only solution. The speakers said whatever causes the Awami-BNP rulers mention for these problems such as ‘we don't have enough wealth in the country', or ‘prices have increased in the international market', or ‘the previous governments are to blame', these are nothing but lies and deception. The fundamental basis of democracy is the real cause of the multitude of problems this country is facing.

 In the democratic system sovereignty and power is concentrated in the hands of a minority elite who make laws according their own interests and rule the country in the way they wish. The rulers in the democratic system take no responsibility for the people; their sole concern is consolidating their position in power and filling their own pockets by impoverishing the people. Furthermore while the rulers enjoy absolute power, yet their accountability is zero.  

 Only the Khilafah "Caliphate" ruling system can solve the problems of the country because it is the system from Allah (swt), our Lord and Creator. Under this system the Khaleefah has no right to legislate, so he has no scope to be despotic or rule in the way he wishes. The Khaleefah rules the people fearing Allah (swt) and feeling responsibility towards the people. He has to fulfil the basic needs of the people and after that facilitate the fulfilment of their luxurious needs. The Khaleefah also has to account for his actions to all citizens of the state, Muslims and non-Muslims alike. Indeed with Khilafah "Caliphate" system people's misery and hardship will end; otherwise they will continue to persist for many more decades to come. Allah (swt) says,

وَمَنْ أَعْرَضَ عَنْ ذِكْرِي فَإِنَّ لَهُ مَعِيشَةً ضَنكًا وَنَحْشُرُهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ أَعْمَى ) طه: 124)

"And whosoever turns away from My Message, verily for him is a life of hardship, and We shall raise him up blind on the Day of Judgment." [TMQ Surah Ta-Ha: 124]
