Military Exercises along India under Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO):
Political and Military Leadership Enhancing Relations with India through Shanghai Cooperation Organization

For the first time the Armed Forces of Pakistan will participate in military exercises in which Indian armed forces will also participate. These military exercises are going to take place in Russia in September 2018. How can Pakistan participate in military exercises alongside India, who is our open enemy, no matter wherever they take place or under any organization? How it can be in Pakistan’s interest to participate in military exercises in which India is also participating? Participating in military exercises in which India is also participating will severely hurt the feelings of the Muslims of Occupied Kashmir and will cause bad feelings in them against Pakistan.

According to ISPR India has violated the cease fire agreement for more than a thousand times in first four months of 2018 along the Line of Control (LoC) and Working Boundary (WB). The political and military leadership states that with the blessing of America, India is using Afghan soil and conducting terrorist activities against Pakistan. Also in this month, April, India conducted one of its largest Pan India “Gagan Shakti” exercises in which Indian Air force conducted staggering 5,000 sorties by fighter gets alone in just three days on the western front with Pakistan. The question is, that despite all these facts how can the political and military leadership of Pakistan agree to become part of military exercises under Shanghai Cooperation Organization in which is India going to participate as well?

The reality is that since Musharaf era till today every successive political and military leadership of Pakistan worked to strengthen the political and military image of India under the dictates of America by showing “Restrain”, on Indian atrocities against the Muslims of occupied Kashmir and against those who live across the Line of Control and Working Boundary. As America has totally disregarded the security concerns of Pakistan which has exposed her so called friendship with Pakistan, the political and military leadership of Pakistan is enhancing political, economic and military ties with Russia and China to create the impression that they will no longer take dictation from America and they are trying to bring back the balance of power in the region which has been tilted in favor of India by realigning with other major powers. But the political and military leadership of Pakistan has exposed her own evil attempt to deceive the Armed Forces and the Muslims of Pakistan by agreeing to take part in exercises under the Shanghai Cooperation Organization in which India will also participate.

O Muslims in Pakistan’s Armed Forces and the Muslims of Pakistan! Current political and military leadership are slaves of America and are trying to cover their slavery to US and treachery with us by giving the impression of enhancing ties with Russia and China. We must remember that America ditched Pakistan even after seventy years of so called friendship and put its weight in favor of India because it is Kafir and enemy of Islam and Muslims. Similarly relations with Russia and China will not benefit Pakistan and the Muslims of this region rather such relations will produce the same results as relations with US because both of them are enemy of Islam and Muslims as well. Allah (swt) said,

[ٱلَّذِينَ يَتَّخِذُونَ ٱلْكَافِرِينَ أَوْلِيَآءَ مِن دُونِ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَيَبْتَغُونَ عِندَهُمُ ٱلْعِزَّةَ فَإِنَّ ٱلعِزَّةَ لِلَّهِ جَمِيعاً]

“Those who take disbelievers for Auliya' (protectors or helpers or friends) instead of believers, do they seek honor, power and glory with them? Verily, then to Allah belongs all honor, power and glory” [Al-Nisa:139]. We won’t get dignity and power by establishing ties with Kafir colonialist powers rather we will gain dignity, honor and power by establishing Khilafah (Caliphate) on the method of the Prophethood in Pakistan which will implement Islam. Treachery of the political and military leadership has been exposed and staying silent on it is suicidal. Therefore Muslims of Pakistan must join the political and intellectual struggle of Hizb ut Tahrir for establishing Khilafah and the sincere officers in the Armed Forces should extend Nussrah to Hizb ut Tahrir for Khilafah to be established.

[إِنْ يَنْصُرْكُمُ ٱللَّهُ فَلاَ غَالِبَ لَكُمْ وَإِنْ يَخْذُلْكُمْ فَمَنْ ذَا ٱلَّذِى يَنْصُرُكُمْ مِّنْ بَعْدِهِ وَعَلَى ٱللَّهِ فَلْيَتَوَكَّلِ ٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ]

“If Allah helps you, none can overcome you; and if He forsakes you, who is there after Him that can help you? And in Allah (Alone) let believers put their trust.” [Ale Imran: 160]
