Regime Treats Jihad against Kaffir Occupation as Terrorism

Speaking at a panel discussion with the Asian Development Bank's President Takehiko Nakao and Indian Finance Secretary Rajiv Mehrishi on 3 May, Finance Minister Ishaq Dar said the security situation in Pakistan was the result of the global menace of terrorism "which travelled from sea to sea and escaped and took refuge in Pakistan". "It is the regional challenge, global fight. It is not only in Pakistan," he said, adding that the international community wanted Pakistan to go after militants and destroy their sanctuaries.

The Raheel-Nawaz regime is again following the American line exactly. America seeks to end the Muslims' deep attachment to Islam, which was developed over centuries of adherence to Islam, fighting in its cause and ruling by it. It is the power of Islam that was the key to the establishment of Pakistan in the first place, forcing a former leading global state, Britain, to end its military occupation of the Indian Subcontinent, never daring to return again. It is the power of Islam that forced another superpower, Soviet Russia, to end its occupation of Afghanistan, in such a severe state of military and economic exhaustion that it led to its eventual and complete collapse. However, now that America has itself occupied the region, the power of Islam is directed against it.

Suppressing Islam in Pakistan is now a matter of survival for the American presence and interests in the region. Using the "National Action Plan" amongst other means, America has mobilized its agents to denounce Jihad as "terrorism" and persecute the sincere mujahideen fighting the American occupation of Afghanistan, using the arrests of miscreants performing sectarian and ethnic violence as a cover to hide her main purpose. America's agents also clamp down on Islamic expression in the media, social media and the political medium, denouncing it as "hate speech", "radicalism" and "Islamism," whilst seizing thousands of sincere Ulema and politicians who call for Jihad against America's occupation of Afghanistan and the return of the Khilafah "Caliphate" to Pakistan.

Regime Establishes Friendly Relations with Hostile Nations Like India and America

The Army's top brass accused the Indian intelligence agency RAW on 5 May 2015 of supporting terrorism in Pakistan. An ISPR statement on a meeting of the Corps Com­manders held at the General Headquarters said, "The Conference also took serious notice of RAW's involvement in whipping up terrorism in Pakistan." RAW has quite often been blamed by law-enforcement agencies for being involved in subversive activities in Pakistan, but it is unusual for a corps commanders' conference to directly point fingers at the hostile intelligence outfit.

The Raheel-Nawaz regime has repeatedly asserted that the Indian intelligence is involved in creating chaos in Balochistan. It is also widely known that the American intelligence has been involved in bloodshed throughout the country. Yet, the regime neglects the Islamic command regarding the hostile Kuffar which is to treat them on a war footing. India is occupying Muslim Lands and has adopted a clearly belligerent stance yet the Raheel-Nawaz regime ensures that its subjects are given easy access to Pakistan and the Hindu state establishes missions and other forms of presence.

Only once the Khilafah "Caliphate" returns will the people see serious action to end the foreign incited insecurity. As Hizb ut Tahrir has adopted in its Introduction to the Constitution, in Article 189, "States with whom we do not have treaties, and the actual imperialist states, such as Britain, America and France, and those states that have designs on the State, such as Russia, are legally considered to be belligerent states. All precautions must be taken towards them and it would be wrong to establish diplomatic relations with them." And in the same Article Clause 4 it has stated, "States that are actually belligerent states, such as Israel for example, a state of war must be taken as the basis for all dealings with them. They must be dealt with as if a real war existed between us - irrespective of whether an armistice exists between us or not - and all their subjects are prevented from entering the State."

In the Khilafah "Caliphate", Sovereignty is only for Allah (swt) not Human beings

The focus of Monday 3 May 2015's hearing in Supreme Court as reported by Dawn was about whether parliament make fundamental changes in the basic characteristics of the Constitution like replacing Islam being a state religion, as stated in Article 2, with secularism. Clarifying the role, Chief Justice reminded the forum that the Supreme Court had referred the 18th Amendment back to parliament, "The basic structure theory was never accepted by the court and while referring the matter back to the parliament it acknowledged the supremacy of parliament". This clearly explains the supremacy which the parliament enjoys in legislation not only in Pakistan, but in democracies around the world, this authority to legislate not only gives authority to parliament to change the nature of the state, it has made the constitution of Pakistan secular even in its current form. To make this constitution more acceptable to our people and herd them into participating in this system, the successive governments have tried to make a few superficial changes to deceive the people that this secular constitution has been transformed into an Islamic one.

The inclusion of "Qarardad-e-Maqasid" (Objectives Resolution) has not changed the secular structure of the constitution because though it begins with a declaration that "Sovereignty in the whole universe belongs to Allah," in the very next breath it surrenders this sovereignty to the people and grants the legislative assembly of public representatives the right to make laws. Therefore, not a single article of the 280 articles of the constitution refer to the Quran and Sunnah for its evidence. As for the Islamic Ideological Council, we know it has only a limited and advisory role. Its recommendations and resolutions are not binding on the parliamentary members. A similar deception is the establishment of the Federal Shariah Court through Article 203, whereby the constitution has been safeguarded from the review of the Federal Shariah court by Special Provision. Thus democracy can never deliver an Islamic constitution to the Islam loving people of Pakistan or anywhere else in the world. Islam can only be guaranteed when implemented through the Khilafah "Caliphate" which takes the right of legislation from man and keeps it restricted to the Lord of all the World Allah (swt) Alone. As stated by Allah (swt), ((إِنِ الْحُكْمُ إِلاَّ للَّه)) "Indeed the rule is for none but Allah."

Lack of Heavy Industry Cripples Pakistan

On 8 May 2015, the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics said that Pakistan's trade gap widened by 11.28 per cent to $17.923 billion during the first ten months of this fiscal year compared to $16.106 bn a year earlier. The surge is an outcome of a fall in export proceeds, whilst imports grew.

The point of grave concern is what we import and what we export, rather than its value, which reveals that the regime is grossly negligent regarding Pakistan's economy. Importing engines, machinery and telecommunications equipment, whilst exporting textiles and sports equipment is not healthy. Although Pakistan has huge material resources, a young, bright and lively population and has been included within the "next eleven" economies in the world regarding its potential, its industry is in a pitiful state, since its creation. The so-called industrial growth of the sixties and seventies was of basic and simple industry, without laying the basis for heavy industry. Since then until now, the IMF and World Bank have overseen further destruction. Growth rate of industry fell from 8.2% in 1980's to 4.8 % for the 1990's and in the latter half of 1990's the growth was only 3.2%. In 1996/7 the growth for industrial sector was minus 0.1%, and was 1.5% in 1999/2000. Private investment fell from 10% to 8% during the 1990's, though foreign ownership of industry has surged, as reflected in the Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) figures. Gross fixed capital formation in private sector in the large-scale manufacturing sector fell continuously over the 1990s, by as much as 60%. And successive rulers facilitated foreign companies in establishing industry, such as extraction plants, refineries and power generation and taking their huge profits abroad, whilst obstructing local private companies through requirements such as obtaining 22 NOCs (No Objection Certificates) to install even a medium size industry. So, it is not surprising today that thousands of industrial units have been declared sick and overall local industrial production is at an all-time low, with foreign multinational companies strengthening their hold on our economy.

From the first day of the return of the Khilafah "Caliphate", the Islamic State will strive to become the leading state, unmatched by any rival, as it was before. Regarding industry, it will have a military focus, which will lead to the rapid development of a heavy industrial base. In its Introduction to the Constitution, Hizb ut Tahrir has adopted Article 74, "The Department of Industry is in charge of all the affairs connected to industry, whether heavy industry such as the manufacturing of engines, machines, vehicles, materials and electrical equipment, or light industry. Similarly, whether the factories are of the public property type or they are included in the private property and have a relationship to the military industry. All types of factories must be established upon the basis of military policy... it is a duty upon the State to manufacture weapons by itself and it is not allowed to depend upon other states, because this allows other states to control it, its will, its weapons and its fighting... This can't be achieved unless the State possesses heavy industry and started to build factories which produce heavy industry, both military and non-military alike."
