On August 13, 2017, Indian Border Security Force (BSF) announced that they would install a new border guarding system called comprehensive integrated border management system (CIBMS) to completely seal the India-Bangladesh border. It will deploy an “Israeli”-developed fencing system that will include CCTV-powered monitoring mechanism along with a ‘quick response team’ to tackle situation. BSF claimed that the proposed smart fencing and surveillance methods are from the state of the art technologies being used in “Israel”. (The Indian Express)
Comment:
India’s initiative to put a 3,406-kilometre fence of barbed wire and concrete started several years ago was completed in 2012. Mainly motivated by Islamophobia, India has always considered Bangladesh as one of its potential existential threat due to the high Islamic emotion prevailing among the mass people of Bangladesh. Even though it claims that the objective of border fencing is to prevent terrorism, smuggling, and “infiltration” into its territories, but in reality, it is its border forces which keep on terrorizing Bangladeshi people every day. They are the ones to have killed more than 1200 unarmed poor Bangladeshi villagers in the last ten years. Treating everyone as suspects, it has turned the entire India-Bangladesh border area into a killing field through its routine and arbitrary ‘shoot to on site’ policy. And alas, there is no entity to bring these BSF criminals to justice who enjoy general immunity from their Islam-hating governments to escape prosecution. Till today, not a single officer or constable of BSF has been prosecuted for their wanton border killing and brutality. The infamous murder case of Felani Khatun, a 15-year-old Bangladeshi minor, is one such example of Indian mockery in the name of trial where the accused, Amiya Ghosh, the great hero of BSF, for killing of the said girl was acquitted by the BSF court on July 2015. And after this farcical trial, BSF soldiers got more motivated to kill Bangladeshis in the name of border protection.
Amid the alarming rise of the killing spree of Bangladeshi unarmed and defenseless local villagers, this mushrik state has now moved one step forward to ramp up its border violence. It has now sought assistance from another enemy of the Muslims, the Jewish entity to secure modern technology to kill Muslims more efficiently. Allah (swt) quite rightly says about this enmity of the kuffar:
لَتَجِدَنَّ أَشَدَّ النَّاسِ عَدَاوَةً لِلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا الْيَهُودَ وَالَّذِينَ أَشْرَكُوا
“Verily, you will find the Jews and those who commit Shirk to be the strongest among men in enmity to the believers”
(al-Ma’idah, 82)
In front of such consistent Indian hostility, the role of our lackey rulers never ceases to amaze us. While the belligerent state, India, is taking measures to kill Muslims more efficiently, the Hasina government, instead of protesting, is ready to bring humiliation onto our people through its subservience. In her very recent (April 8, 2017) visit to India, Sheikha Hasina rather took with her gifts for the very Indian leadership who orders the BSF to kill our people. Only a spineless ruler could turn a blind eye to all the cold-blooded brutality of this enemy state and shamelessly say that: “I visited India to seek nothing but friendship”. Moreover, a week ago, this disgraceful government has had its Border Guard officers celebrate with the killer BSF officers the festival of ‘Raksha Bandhan’ (a Hindu religious festival of a bond between a brother and a sister)! This is the best our slavish leaders are willing to do; that is, seeking friendship and giving presents to the very enemy that has continued killing our people! India has always considered us its enemy and has been able to commit crimes persistently by taking advantage of our corrupt political systems. AL- BNP leaders believe that they need its blessing to be in power, and these ‘leaders’ will never show enough courage to protest against India for anything they do at the border whether it is building river dams, barrages or fences violating international traditions.
We have seen that India, guided by its Western masters, has always exploited us politically and economically, which it started since the inception of Bangladesh, and, building fences are a part of its strategic move. India does not certainly fear the subservient governments of Bangladesh. India’s need to build a high-tech fence is definitely not due to any current reality. It senses that the coming of the second righteous Khilafah (Caliphate) is imminent in Bangladesh and that will be the real threat for it, against which it is taking all these measures to protect its boundary. But it is the will of Allah (swt) that the Khilafah will return in the Indian sub-continent and its rule will again liberate the people of this region.
Thawban reported that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:
«عِصَابَتَانِ مِنْ أُمَّتِي أَحْرَزَهُمَا اللَّهُ مِنْ النَّارِ عِصَابَةٌ تَغْزُو الْهِنْدَ وَعِصَابَةٌ تَكُونُ مَعَ عِيسَى ابْنِ مَرْيَمَ عَلَيْهِمَا السَّلَام»
“Two groups of my Ummah Allah has protected from the Hellfire: a group that will conquer India and a group that will be with ‘Isa ibnu Maryam.” [Ahmad and An-Nisa’i]
