Obama's Statement in Favour of India on Kashmir is a Slap in the Face of Pakistani Rulers

Obama's statement on Kashmir is a slap in the face of Pakistani rulers. In an interview with an Indian journalist, published on 16 July 2012, Obama said, "It is not the place of any nation, including the United States, to try to impose solutions from the outside." For decades, Pakistan has been declaring Kashmir an international issue and demanded that it should be settled according to United Nations resolutions and international mediation. On the other hand, India for several decades declared Kashmir a bilateral dispute and rejected any international mediation or solution, even if it was initiated from United Nations. Obama completely rejected the Pakistani stance and fully endorsed the Indian position. After 9/11, dictator of that time and American agent, General Musharraf, tried to pacify the emotions of the people of Pakistan, after giving his support to America in the slaughtering of the Muslims of Afghanistan and to end the government in Kabul, which was Pakistan friendly. He took this step whilst claiming that America will safe guard Pakistan's interest in Afghanistan, support Pakistan's nuclear program, economy, and Kashmir. But the America's animosity against Pakistan's nuclear program and economy exposed this false and she provided full support to India to spread its influence in Afghanistan. Now by endorsing the Indian position on Kashmir, it has been proved beyond any doubt that America is a friend of India and an enemy of Pakistan. Just like Musharraf, the current traitors in the political and military leadership are American agents, who are still pursuing the American policies and declaring that they are in the interest of Pakistan. Obama's endorsement of the Indian position on Kashmir is a slap in the face of the traitors in the political and military leadership and to all of those who still insist that Pakistan should follow American dictates. Reliance on America or United Nations to resolve the Kashmir dispute is an un-Islamic act and it will never lead to the liberation of Kashmir. Allah سبحانه و تعالى says:

[أَلَمْ تَرَ إِلَى الَّذِينَ يَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّهُمْ آمَنُوا بِمَا أُنزِلَ إِلَيْكَ وَمَا أُنزِلَ مِنْ قَبْلِكَ يُرِيدُونَ أَنْ يَتَحَاكَمُوا إِلَى الطَّاغُوتِ وَقَدْ أُمِرُوا أَنْ يَكْفُرُوا بِهِ وَيُرِيدُ الشَّيْطَانُ أَنْ يُضِلَّهُمْ ضَلاَلاً بَعِيدًا]

"Have you not seen those (hyprocrites) who claim that they believe in that which has been sent down to you, and that which was sent down before you, and they wish to go for judgment (in their disputes) to the Taghut while they have been ordered to reject them. But Shaytan wishes to lead them far astray." (Surah An-Nisaa 4:60)

Hizb ut-Tahrir asks the sincere ones in the armed forces as to how along they will be fooled with the false claims of these traitors in the political and military leadership. This mirage of American assistance and support had already caused a severe blow to Pakistan, when we lost half of the country in 1971 and even today we are paying its bloody price. Today, there is no argument left that pursuing American policies are in the national interest. The only solution of Kashmir is the establishment of Khilafah "Caliphate", which will mobilize its armies to wage Jihad. O sincere officers of Pakistan armed forces! Up root these traitors from amongst the political and military leadership and give Nussrah to Hizb ut-Tahrir to establish Khilafah "Caliphate" and wage Jihad to liberate Kashmir.
