Press Release
Martyrdom Anniversary of Burhan Wani
A Sincere Leadership would Mobilize our Ready and Willing Armed Forces in Jihad to Liberate Kashmir Now

It has been one year since the martyrdom of Burhan Wani. On Friday 8 July 2016, Indian forces martyred the brave, young liberation fighter, Burhan Wani. Occupied Kashmir erupted into a long series of protests and strikes such that the oppressive Indian forces were compelled to impose curfew for 53 days straight, using pellet guns to maim and blind, in a bid to quell the unrest. However, the Muslims' desire for liberation from the Hindu State occupation did not diminish and instead reached heights not witnessed since the 1990s armed uprising. Every protest and funeral is adorned with the flags of Pakistan as an expression of the desire, Kashmir banayga Pakistan "Kashmir will be Pakistan." The desire for liberation and annexation of Pakistan is so intense that the former head of India’s external spy agency, RAW, A.S. Dulat, was compelled to say in November 2016, "Kashmir has never looked so bleak."

In such a favorable situation, had there been a sincere leadership in Pakistan, it would have immediately ordered Pakistan’s armed forces to wage Jihad in order to liberate the oppressed Muslims of Occupied Kashmir.

However, the current political and military leadership of Pakistan has closed its eyes over the Muslims of Occupied Kashmir, upon the order of its master, the US. Whilst, India unleashes waves of atrocities against our Muslim brothers and sisters of Occupied Kashmir, the Bajwa-Nawaz regime merely condemns and asks the so-called international community to take notice. Whilst India undertakes firing and shelling over the Line of Control and Working Boundary, martyring our civilians and soldiers, the spineless Bajwa-Nawaz regime maintains its cowardly “restraint” policy.

Whilst India, with American support and approval, uses Afghan soil to undertake bomb blasts across Pakistan through its Kulbhushan Jadhav network, the Bajwa-Nawaz regime asks the same America to mediate between Pakistan and India! And when American president Donald Trump, while standing along Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, gave threats to Pakistan, the Bajwa-Nawaz regime only expressed regret. Moreover, it promptly arranged a tour of the tribal areas for an American political delegation to assure America that it is "doing more" to secure the Indian and American presence in Afghanistan from the defiant tribal resistance.

O Sincere Officers of Pakistan Armed Forces! Today, the situation in Occupied Kashmir has reached a level where its liberation and annexation with Pakistan is not only possible, it is inevitable and natural. All that remains is your mobilization in Jihad by a sincere leadership.

Since the time of Musharraf, the spineless character of every incoming political and military leadership is before you. The current rulers have been ensuring our humiliation before our enemies, sacrificing the interests of Islam, Muslims and Pakistan to secure American interests. Rather than opposing the American project of “Greater India” (Akhund Baharat), they are actively facilitating it. There is no excuse or justification to deny your immediate mobilization for the liberation of Occupied Kashmir. Allah (swt) said,

[وَمَا لَكُمْ لاَ تُقَاتِلُونَ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ وَٱلْمُسْتَضْعَفِينَ مِنَ ٱلرِّجَالِ وَٱلنِّسَآءِ وَٱلْوِلْدَانِ ٱلَّذِينَ يَقُولُونَ رَبَّنَآ أَخْرِجْنَا مِنْ هَـٰذِهِ ٱلْقَرْيَةِ ٱلظَّالِمِ أَهْلُهَا وَٱجْعَلْ لَّنَا مِن لَّدُنْكَ وَلِيّاً وَٱجْعَلْ لَّنَا مِن لَّدُنْكَ نَصِيراً]

“And what is wrong with you that you fight not in the Cause of Allah, and for those weak, ill-treated and oppressed among men, women, and children, whose cry is: "Our Lord! Rescue us from this town whose people are oppressors; and raise for us from You one who will protect, and raise for us from You one who will help.” [Surah An-Nisa'a 4:75].

So will you not move now for our brothers and sisters of occupied Kashmir? Do you not want the honor of being the protectors and helpers raised by Allah swt? Remember the plea that we were compelled to follow the order of our chiefs will not save us from the fire of Hell. Allah (swt) warned us,

[وَقَالُواْ رَبَّنَآ إِنَّآ أَطَعْنَا سَادَتَنَا وَكُبَرَآءَنَا فَأَضَلُّونَا ٱلسَّبِيلَاْ]

“And they (people of Hell) will say: "Our Lord! Verily, we obeyed our chiefs and our great ones, and they misled us from the (Right) Way.” [Surah Al Ahzab 33:67]

So take the right decision before the time comes when there is nothing but regret. And the right decision is that you seize the traitors in the political and military leadership, uproot the Kufr capitalist system and grant Nussrah to Hizb ut Tahrir, under its Ameer, the renowned scholar and statesman, Sheikh Ata Bin Khalil Abu Al-Rashtah, for the re-establishment of Khilafah (Caliphate) on the Method of Prophethood. This is the only right decision, after which a Khaleefa Rashid will mobilize you in Jihad. Grant the Nussrah to end the oppression of the Muslims of Occupied Kashmir, unifying the Muslim Lands under one Khaleefah. And this is the only right decision, after which we all will be finally liberated from political, economic and military slavery of the Kuffar. Mobilize with Imaan in Allah (swt)’s promise and change the course of history.

[يَا أَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ آمَنُوۤاْ إِن تَنصُرُواْ ٱللَّهَ يَنصُرْكُمْ وَيُثَبِّتْ أَقْدَامَكُمْ]

“O you who believe! If you help (in the cause of) Allah, He will help you, and make your foothold firm.” [Surah Muhammad 47:7]
