Hizb ut-Tahrir is a political party and has no connection with militancy
Hizb ut-Tahrir will continue its non-militant struggle to establish the Khilafah
Once again Hizb ut-Tahrir’s name is being printed in various newspapers along with other militant organizations in order to portray Hizb as a militant outfit. Furthermore failed efforts are being made to link Hizb with terrorism. In these American endeavours Punjab government is seen working hand in glove with the Federal government.
Hizb ut-Tahrir condemns these nefarious plans and evil endeavours and reiterates that such allegations will not be able to deter Hizb from its non-violent struggle for the reestablishment of the Khilafah. Hizb ut-Tahrir’s writ against its illegal banning is still pending before the High Court for the past four years. This writ is a challenge for the “independent Judiciary” of Pakistan.
The current democratically elected Punjab government is no better than the Musharraf regime which was known for its subservience to America. Rather they are completely allied to an agent like Zardari in his anit-Islamic policies carried out under the guise of fighting “terrorism”. Currently, like the Federal government, the Punjab government is also dancing on the American tune that is working day and night to eradicate Islam from this region.
After the Lahore blast, as we had forewarned the Ummah, the government immediately started its activities against the Islamic groups and Madaris (Islamic seminaries) as if she was waiting for the blast. This is the part of the strategy which the US devised for this region after 9/11.
According to the policy all those elements were to be crushed which can pose any resistance in the US hegemony of the region or secularisation of its people. Hence efforts began to alienate the Ummah from all those who loved Jihad or the Islamic parties who were working to uproot this Kufr system with non-violent means by declaring them terrorist and then to crush them.
Not only this, the curriculum of all the schools were further secularised and work began to even change the curriculum of the Madaris. After crushing those who had the ability to posed any resistance in the Tribal region, America wants to move to Punjab and the Punjab government is completely in cahoots with them.
Furthermore the rulers are trying to link Hizb with militancy because they know that it is the Hizb that exposes colonialist plans before the Ummah and has the capability to establish the Khilafah by uprooting the kufr capitalist system. This is the US plan for whose implementation US agencies are busy conducting bomb blasts in order to provide government the necessary justification for operation.
The perpetual wave of terrorism in Pakistan started with US’s arrival and will end with its departure; there is no doubt about this in the minds of the people. The government is neglecting the obligation to eject US from the region. Hence the Ummah and the people of power will have to take this responsibility upon themselves. The Ummah should undertake non-violent and political steps to stop America’s supply line passing through Pakistan. No matter if they have to block the GT Road or socially boycott the owners of the tankers to achieve this objective. America’s supply line is her lifeline, cutting which we can easily eject US from the region.

The nexus of Blackwater and the rulers, once again drenched Lahore with blood
By conducting blasts in Lahore America wants to initiate another operation
Hizb ut-Tahrir strongly condemns the bomb blasts in the Mosque adjacent to Ali Hajvairy’s (May Allah have mercy upon him) grave that killed more than 40 and injured around 200 Muslims. After a lull, America and its private army, Blackwater and DynCorp, have once again started the blood bath. The government of Punjab province just yesterday held a high-level meeting to initiate an operation against the “militants” in Punjab. The government cannot ask for a better opportunity/excuse to start this operation than a high-profile bomb blast like this. People know that it is not coincidental that Mosques, Islamic Universities, schools and market places are targeted whilst offices of Blackwater and other American terrorist organizations remain un-touched; this serves as a proof that America is behind these atrocious activities. She paves the public opinion for military operations by killing Muslims. Each time before conducting military operations for mass murder in Swat, South Waziristan and Orakzai Agency, string of bomb blasts were conducted in urban centres of Pakistan and the waves of public anger resulting from these blasts were used to support the military operations.
Let the US and their agent Muslims rulers know that the masses are no longer willing to buy this. This is why the people protested violently against the government immediately after the blast and held the government responsible for this crime. Moreover, with this terrorist act America aims at promoting sectarian hatred and wants to divide the Islamists so that they may indulge in sectarian feuds instead of uniting to kick US out of the region. This is the same policy which US adopted in Iraq.
Hizb ut-Tahrir sincerely calls the Ulema from all schools of thought that they should work together to stop US from achieving her heinous plans and call for the ejection of US from the region with a unified voice as it is solely because of American presence in the region that Pakistan has been turned into a ditch of hell. We also call upon the sincere Muslims in the people-of-power that they should reject the American order of killing their own Muslim brothers and concentrate all their efforts to rid this region from the evil presence of America. Only then this fire of fitnah can be extinguished.
