Press Release
Khilafah is Necessary for the Liberation of Occupied Kashmir
Only the Khilafah will Rid Us of the Curse of a Westernized Ruling Elite and Mobilize Our Armed Forces for Liberation of Kashmir

The Foreign Office on Wednesday issued a helpless, weak and bigoted statement on the Trump-Modi Joint statement which harshly criticized Pakistan. The statement revealed the slavish mentality of Pakistan’s ruling elite which has for decades approached foreign relations based on a flawed, colonial and Western inspired foreign policy doctrine. Pakistan’s military and ruling elites believe that foreign relations are conducted based on alliance with one of the great powers of the international arena. A legacy of the British colonial rule, the Pakistani ruling elite from the very start viewed foreign help and support as key to building the new state economically and militarily and in conduct of foreign relations. It is this slavish mentality of our ruling elite both military and civilian, doubting the potential of our own people, seeking to secure personal interests, worshipping Western culture and ignoring the powerful potential and clear solutions of Islam which has led to humiliation and failure to protect interests of Muslims of Pakistan in the international arena.

Nothing exemplifies this more than the Kashmir dispute. Instead of declaring an end to an alliance with the US for openly supporting India against Pakistan and Muslims of Kashmir, the Foreign Office reminded US how supporting India is against stated US interests for the region. It said: “The joint statement is singularly unhelpful in achieving the objective of strategic stability and durable peace in the South Asian region.” It went on to beg the US to restrain India and push her towards restarting the normalization process with Pakistan which only serves to strengthen India as a regional hegemon. The statement said: “it was a “missed opportunity” for pushing India to “alter its policies inimical to peace in the region”.  And end “persistent gross human rights violations in Kashmir and state backed persecution of religious minorities in India”. Fearful of the anger which the Muslims of Pakistan feel towards this regime’s weak stance on Kashmir the regime’s Interior Minister issued a statement chastising the US on its lack of morality. He said: “It seems that after Modi’s recent visit to the White House, the blood of Kashmiris is not at all important to the US, and international laws relating to human rights do not apply to Kashmir”.

We ask is this the regime’s strategy for liberating Kashmir and ending the misery of the Muslims of the valley? To deliver sermons on morality, to interpreting US interests for the US explaining how backing Pakistan against India will better serve US interests in the region, begging the US not to strengthen India by transferring military technology to her, or calling for intervention of colonial institutions to protect the interests of the Muslims? We ask are there any sane minds in this ruling elite? Or is it fairer to declare that this ruling elite comprises of political and intellectual agents of the West who are incapable of thinking out of the confines which the West has set for them.

O Sincere Officers of Pakistan’s Armed Forces! O Brothers! This is Kashmir, our jugular vein. This is the Hindu State, our sworn enemy. And this is America, the head of Kufr, an enemy of Islam and Muslims. And these are our rulers and their public stances in relation to all of the above. Our jugular vein, in the hands of Hindu Mushrikeen with the help of US crusaders and agents within your leadership. So where are the ones amongst you who are happy over this state of affairs? We know there are none! Anger and frustration at the current state of affairs is not enough. You are men of power and steel, men of honor and prestige; you are descendants of the greatest military warriors the world has ever seen! The likes of Khalid bin Waleed, Salahudin Ayubi, Mohammad bin Qasim, Sultan Fateh and the like. You know their feats and you know their history, they were the ones who changed the course of history through sheer courage and determination and support of Allah (swt). You have that opportunity now, to be remembered alongside them but you have to replicate their courage and determination. Act now! Come forward and grant Nussrah to Hizb ut Tahrir for the establishment of the second Khilafah Rashidah (Righteous Caliphate). Hizb ut Tahrir presents to you an alternate vision extracted solely and purely from Islam, outside the destructive confines of Western inspired doctrines of ruling and foreign policy. It presents to you a vision which makes you masters of your own affairs, frees you to reshape the region and promises you the glory of your predecessors whom you proudly remember as masters of the World. O brothers! Come forward and pledge allegiance to an Ameer who will respond with actions not mere words to all aggression against Muslim people and who will lead you to liberate Kashmir and the greater India itself. O brothers! Come forward for a great reward and honor which awaits you in this Dunya and the day when the witnesses will stand forth.
