Arrest of Activists and Supporters of Hizb ut Tahrir for taking Stand for Babri Masjid:

A Despicable Attempt of Hasina Regime to Silence the Voice against the Interests of the Mushrik India in Bangladesh

As a desperate attempt to silence the voice against the interests of Mushrik India in Bangladesh, Hasina regime arrested 5 activists and supporters of Hizb ut Tahrir on November 16, 2019 while they were chatting with their friends in the neighborhood. It should be noted that, on Friday, 15/11/2019 after Jummah, Hizb ut Tahrir / Wilayah Bangladesh organized demonstrations and marches at various mosques in Dhaka and Chittagong protesting the Indian Hindutva aggression in replacing the Babri Mosque with “Ram Temple” and the submissiveness of the Hasina regime in the face of this aggression. The banners of the programs stated: “Removing the Current Regime which is totally Subservient in the Face of Indian Hindutva and Reestablishing the Khilafah Rashidah (Righteous Caliphate) is the only Assured Path to Restore the Honor of Babri Mosque”. This traitorous regime has labeled the sincere and non-violent political activities of the party to expose the Indian Hindutva conspiracy against the Ummah as “destructive”! How outrageous is it to denote the call for the Khilafah (Caliphate) State for restoring the honor of the Ummah and the Babri Mosque as “disturbing law and order”! By this heinous arrest, Hasina made it loud and clear even to the Ummah that her regime will not tolerate any kind of protest against the interests of the Mushrik India even if that is non-violent in nature. And this is exactly what we saw in the case of the brutal murder of the BUET student Abrar by the henchmen of the regime - Bangladesh Chhatra League - for just a post in Facebook criticizing India.

We in Hizb ut Tahrir want to remind the Hasina regime again: Do not even imagine that with these despicable actions you can succeed in silencing the voice of the people or that you will be able to break the resolve of the courageous members and activists of Hizb ut Tahrir! The people now are more aware and alert, and your masks have been removed revealing your true faces of betrayal. And, the members and activists of Hizb ut Tahrir will always remain true to their covenant with Allah Azza Wa Jal to expose the plots of the Kuffar, Mushriks and their loyal agents by revealing their conspiracy and betrayal to the Ummah and its Deen.

We want to warn the thugs of Hasina regime working in security agencies, Beware! The crimes that you are committing against the sincere da’wah carriers of the Hizb ut Tahrir who are proclaiming only the truth by having them arrested and tortured will never go unattended. It is only a matter of time that Hasina regime will receive the just punishments they deserve with the imminent return of the second Khilafah Rashidah (righteous Caliphate), which will bring all oppressors to justice and punishment. And also, do not forget that by arresting and oppressing the sincere advocates of Khilafah to obey Hasina, you are earning nothing but wrath of Allah subhanahu wa ta’la as it is His promise that whoever terrifies a believer in this world will not be secured from being terrified on the Day of Resurrection. So, repent for the sins that you have committed and support the non-violent movement of the establishment of the Khilafah Rashida (righteous Caliphate) on the method of Prophethood by shunning the commands of the regime to hurt the sincere da’wah carriers of Hizb ut Tahrir. Allah subhanahu wa ta’la says:

﴿إِنَّ الَّذِينَ فَتَنُوا الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتِ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَتُوبُوا فَلَهُمْ عَذَابُ جَهَنَّمَ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابُ الْحَرِيقِ﴾

“Verily, those who put into trial the believing men and believing women, and then do not turn in repentance, then they will have the torment of Hell, and they will have the punishment of the burning Fire” [Al-Buruj (85):10]
