Hizb ut-Tahrir vehemently and categorically condemns the recent drone attack in Bannu and the news about future plans of American to conduct more drone attacks in Baluchistan. Pakistan is facing American war but unfortunately the ruling and opposition parties are keeping the Ummah engulfed in useless political tag-of-wars instead of helping her defend itself. America has already taken its war out of FATA into the settled areas of NWFP and now openly declares its intention to attack Baluchistan but this still is not enough to alarm our rulers.

The Neros of Pakistan are playing the fiddle while Pakistan burns in American war
Hizb ut-Tahrir vehemently and categorically condemns the recent drone attack in Bannu and the news about future plans of American to conduct more drone attacks in Baluchistan. Pakistan is facing American war but unfortunately the ruling and opposition parties are keeping the Ummah engulfed in useless political tag-of-wars instead of helping her defend itself. America has already taken its war out of FATA into the settled areas of NWFP and now openly declares its intention to attack Baluchistan but this still is not enough to alarm our rulers.
Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi claims that American drone attacks will end by May 2009. Previously it was Prime Minister Yousar Raza Gillani who was trying to console the masses by claiming that drone attacks will end when the new US administration will take charge. People cannot be fooled with these white lies anymore. What can be more glaring proof of our rulers’ treachery that it is Pakistan who provides fuel to the very drones that bomb Pakistan; it is Pakistan who delivers the missiles under the pretext of logistic support which are eventually fired by these drones; it is Pakistan’s own airstrips which are used by these drones to take off and then land safely on Pakistani soil after bombing. And after all this our rulers have the audacity to say that we do not have the capability to stop these drone attacks. Is there any traitor in the world who can present a bigger example of treachery than this?
This ruling clan is the most despicable and disgusting class of the society which the imperialist has painstakingly sieved out of the society and enthroned them as our rulers. Mr. Asif Ali Zardari is one such shinning example. These people have no acquaintance with the society nor does the society own them, they are complete strangers to each other. We demand the people of power to uproot these agents and instead of supporting this unjust system provide support and nusrah to Hizb ut-Tahrir in its struggle to establish the Khilafah. Only then the Muslims will be able to live in dignity in the world.
