Kayani and Civilian Traitor Rulers have Descended to Filthy Tactics to Stop Hizb ut Tahrir Raid on Weekly Dars of Hizb ut Tahrir in Lahore, More than 15 Arrested and Sent to Jail on Judicial Remand

On 29th March, Government thugs attacked Hizb ut Tahrir weekly Dars in the Model Town area of Lahore and arrested more than 15 people. A case was lodged against them according to the Anti-Terrorism Act, Clause 11-W, and today, 30th March, they were sent to jail on judicial remand. To humiliate these sincere and educated youngsters, they were presented in front of Media head-covered. The residents of the house, in which this Dars was being held since many years, were tortured severely. The father and all three sons were arrested and they were beaten to bleeding in front of the mother, inside the house. This was done only because this noble family is desires Khilafah "Caliphate" and supremacy for Islam. Do these agencies act similarly against the people who have rented out their houses to Blackwater? Do they raid the brothels that are now spread across Lahore? Never, ever! According to some media reports, this Raid was done in response to the video posted on Youtube by Hizb ut Tahrir, in which Hizb ut Tahrir has exposed the treachery of General Kayani and General Pasha and then conducted an sms campaign for its publicity. The reality is that, this raid in Lahore and earlier in Islamabad is to stop Hizb ut Tahrir's campaign against the probable re-opening of NATO supply routes. Zardari and Kayani know with surety that this Ummah hates America and their treachery has been exposed after the Abbottabad and Salala attacks. To cover up their treachery, the supply line was temporarily blocked, but it was not enough to calm the anger of the people. Now when these agents want to re-open this American lifeline, they see a threat from a mass movement lead by a party like Hizb ut Tahrir. The government knows that the real enemy of the current kufr system is Hizb ut Tahrir which is presenting an alternate system to the Ummah. For this reason, instead of arresting the friendly opposition, the real opposition, members of Hizb ut Tahrir, are being arrested, kidnapped and tortured. The Shabaab of Hizb will continue their peaceful struggle of exposing the agent rulers and spreading awareness amongst the Ummah, whatever difficulties they may face. It is to be noted here also, that Hizb ut Tahrir has challenged the Illegal and un-islamic ban against its activities for the last six years. But the so-called “Independent” Judiciary has resorted to delaying tactics so that these rulers can continue with the arrests and torture of members of Hizb ut Tahrir. And we want to let these agents and their thugs know, that Hizb ut Tahrir would continue its intellectual and political struggle until the sincere from within the Armed Forces give Nussrah to Hizb ut Tahrir for the re-establishment of the Khilafah "Caliphate".
