Press Release
Promotions and Appointments in Pakistan Army Armed Forces' Officers are Responsible for Protecting Muslim Lands and Extending Nussrah for the Implementation of Islam

On 22 September 2014, the public relations wing of the armed forces, ISPR, announced the new chief of Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelli¬gence (ISI), along with five new Corps Commanders, after promoting them to Lieutenant-General. However, these appointments are viewed in the ruling circles in light of war on terror in the country, because the traitors in the political and military leadership have changed the role of Pakistan's armed forces according to American dictation. The role was to defend Pakistan against Indian aggression and to liberate Kashmir. However, now our armed forces are burnt as fuel for American's so called war on terror. Beside this, traitors in the military leadership have made changes in the Green Book of the Armed Forces, declaring terrorism as the biggest national security threat, instead of India. It is this change which gave the Indian Prime Minister, Narendar Modi, the butcher of the Muslims of Gujrat, confidence to declare on 12th August 2014, that "Pakistan has lost the strength to fight a conventional war," implying that Pakistan can no longer fight India.

Hizb ut Tahrir wants to remind the Muslims that the officers and soldiers of Pakistan armed forces have sworn to protect this Muslim land and people. Allah (swt) has entrusted a great responsibility upon them, which is that the strength of Muslim armed forces must be used for the implementation of Islam and its spread through Dawah and Jihad all over the world. Yet, traitors in the political and military leadership have turned away Pakistan's armed forces from their actual duty. They are making them chase and eradicate tribal Muslims who are fighting against American occupation in Afghanistan. The regime is also using this strength to persecute the sincere Muslims who are working for the establishment of Khilafah "Caliphate" in Pakistan through political and intellectual struggle. And the strength of the Muslim army has been abused by making it a support for the implementation of Kufr democratic system. Don't we remember how proud the Muslims were of our armed forces when their objective was to defend Pakistan against Indian aggression and to secure the liberation of Kashmir? Now, when traitors in the political and military leadership have burnt our armed forces as fuel for the American war, their respect has diminished. The enemy, US took the advantage of this situation and is trying to turn our forces and our people against each other. America has ignited a war of Fitna where Muslims spill the blood of other Muslims.

Pakistan's Army will only find its rightful position in the Islamic Khilafah "Caliphate" state, which will eradicate American presence from the region, liberate the Muslim lands of Kashmir and Palestine and unify the divided Muslim Lands as one powerful Khilafah "Caliphate". Therefore, it is incumbent upon every officer of the armed forces to realize their weight and provide Nussrah for establishing the Islamic Khilafah "Caliphate" state, thus becoming the Ansar of this era. RasulAllah (saw) stipulated the great status of the Ansaar when he said, «آيَةُ الإِيمَانِ حُبُّ الأَنْصَارِ، وَآيَةُ النِّفَاقِ بُغْضُ الأَنْصَارِ» "Love for the Ansar is a sign of faith and hatred for the Ansar is a sign of hypocrisy." (Narrated by Muslim, Bukhari).
