On 3 August 2012, the Chief of Army Staff, General Kayani approved sentencing of Rigorous Imprisonment for five officers of Pakistan’s armed forces, including the highly decorated and widely respected Brigadier Ali Khan.
Hizb ut-Tahrir states that the court martial proceedings against officers like Brigadier Ali Khan are because of the American policy to purge the Muslim armed forces of any sincere and capable officer who wants a strong and liberated Ummah.
This policy is in place because America has for many years been concerned that matters will slip out of her hands as she seeks control of the Muslim armed forces. In the Washington Post in March 2009, David Kilcullen, who was adviser to then CENTCOM commander General, David H Petraeus, on America’s war, said, “Pakistan has 173 million people, 100 nuclear weapons, an army bigger than the US Army…We’re now reaching the point (of)…an extremist takeover — that would dwarf everything we’ve seen in the war on terror today.” It is this American policy of purging those officers who are inclined to Islam that is being pursued by America’s agents in Bangladesh, led by Shaikh Hasina, with the arrests of dozens of sincere officers, who stood on the side of Islam and against the traitor rulers who ally with America. It is this purging policy that has been followed over decades in Syria and has only failed recently due to the bravery of sincere officers, who turned their back on the tyrant Bashar al-Assad in support of the people who are rising for Khilafah.
Hizb ut-Tahrir asks, is this not the policy that officers like Kayani and Zaheer ul-Islam are pursuing, rewarded by America with promotions and extensions for their loyal service? Is this policy not to make the officers of Pakistan’s armed forces into guardians for American interests against their own people, whom they have sworn to protect against foreign aggressors? Has this policy not already been pursued in the tribal areas and have Kayani and Zaheer ul-Islam not shown their willingness to extend this war of Fitna into Pakistan’s major cities, including Karachi? Is this not why any sincere officer that raises his voice against drone attacks, military operations in Abbotabad and Salala and the rising American Raj hounded out of the armed forces or made an example so that others will not make a stand? So, who really should be subject to court martial, sincere officers like Brigadier Ali Khan or traitors like Kayani and Zaheer ul-Islam, we ask?
Hizb ut-Tahrir assures Kayani and his masters in Washington that they will fail even if they were to enter into the house of every single officer, as Firawn failed in his frantic search for Musa عليه السلام.
And Hizb ut-Tahrir emphasises its call to the officers of the Pakistan Armed Forces to grant the Nussrah to Hizb ut-Tahrir for the establishment of the Khilafah. And may Allah سبحانه و تعالى bring the day through the brave and sincere officers soon, when the mischief and falsehood of the criminal traitors are obliterated by the truth of Islam. Allah سبحانه و تعالى said,
لِيُحِقَّ الْحَقَّ وَيُبْطِلَ الْبَاطِلَ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ الْمُجْرِمُونَ
“That He might cause the truth to triumph and bring falsehood to nothing, even though the criminals hate it.” [Surah al-Anfaal 8:8]
