Pakistan’s Rulers Caused a Storm of Inflation by Printing 36 Trillion Rupees Worth of Notes in Four Years Alone

According to the State Bank of Pakistan data, in 2018, the volume of currency in circulation was 44 trillion rupees. Today this volume has reached 80 trillion. So, in just four years, the rulers printed 36 trillion notes. It is a 71% increase of the money in circulation. However, the increase in production in the last four years was not even 15%. The result is that the annual rate of inflation is at a record breaking 31%. So until the currency is transferred to gold dinar and silver dirhams, the rulers will continue to cover the fiscal deficit by printing notes.

Discrediting the Pakistan Army Serves the US Plan to Raise India

The financial corruption of the military leadership has led to an attack on the army as a whole. The attack pushes the army to inaction, caution and restraint against India. It allows the leadership to focus on steering the domestic situation, to secure US interests. It is the Khilafah that will restore the prestige of the armed forces, by mobilizing them to liberate occupied Muslims Lands and open new lands to the mercy of Islam.

Pakistan’s Political Crisis Will Not Be Solved by Elections

The current struggle over the early holding of elections is a fruitless struggle. Regardless of who wins, the situation of the people will worsen. Democracy ensures that the Western laws are implemented. Democracy ensures the destruction of the economy. Democracy ensures that Pakistan is weakened before India. The elections we need are those for a Khaleefah to govern by Islam, and those that elect members of the Council of the Ummah, which will account the Khaleefah over his implementation of Islam.

With Long-Term Political Stability, the Khilafah will Make the Ummah Prosperous

Pakistan’s politics has become a battleground, as in the US, and other democracies.  Elections every five years or so, with consequent changes in policies, make the economy uncertain, causing investment to stagnate.  In a Khilafah, the Khaleefah is for life, ruling by Islam. He provides stability through long-term policies, allowing economic activity to flourish, ensuring prosperity.

People are Dying in Queues for Flour in An Agricultural Country!

Democracy has turned an agricultural country into a commodity-importing country, where the poor and middle classes are dying in queues for cheap flour. It will be the Khilafah (Caliphate) that will distribute the vast arable land of Pakistan amongst the deserving people. It will take back agricultural land from those who keep the land uncultivated, so that all this land can be made productive. The Khilafah will make Pakistan a food basket for the Islamic World by providing water, fertiliser, high quality seeds, agricultural machinery and training.

In Democracy, the Power Elite Has Mechanisms in Place to Escape Accountability

In democracy, the army and the judiciary have provisions to escape accountability. Politicians have devised amnesties, NROs and plea bargain methods for themselves.  In the Khilafah, the judges, generals, administrators, amils, walis, assistants and the Khaleefah are held accountable by the Court of Unjust Acts. No department or instituion is allowed to do its own accountability. All rulers and administrators are accountable according to the Noble Quran and Prophetic Sunnah, just as all citizens are.

The Effect of Democratic Protest is the Continuity of the Current Failed System

After ruining the country and the people because of the system, both the rulers and the opposition still want continuity of this system. Through public protest, the opposition wants to convince the people that this rotten system can still give the people respect, independence and prosperity.  Change will not come through whitewashing ruins. Change comes by tearing down ruins and building a strong building, on a new foundation.  Destroy democracy, bring forth the Khilafah.
