On 17 February 2013, the thugs of the Kayani-Zardari regime raided a seminar organized by Hizb ut Tahrir in the city of the headquarters of Pakistan's army, Rawalpindi, and arrested Speaker Saad Jegranvi.  The re-arrest of Saad Jegranvi comes after his campaign in Rawalpindi and Pakistan's capital, Islamabad, in which he conducted public bayyans and side meetings to mobilize the people for Khilafah "Caliphate". As for the seminar, Saad presented a refutation of Kayani's military doctrine, exposing it as a doctrine of submission, humiliation and capitulation before a hostile force, America. Saad Jegranvi reminded the Muslims that after the rejection of the Ummah of direct colonialism, the Kuffar receded and changed the face of their control, using the concept of alliances.

These alliances with hostile states are not alliances of equals and fair dealing, but designed to subjugate the Muslim lands. It is this alliance with America that has led to an explosion in the presence of America within Pakistan and Afghanistan. It is this alliance that has allowed America to invade the region, occupy Afghanistan and install a puppet Karzai government on the doorstep of the world's sole Muslim nuclear power.  It is this alliance that is now busy working to establish a permanent American presence in Afghanistan, hidden under a thin veil of partial withdrawal. The seminar made clear that the real "internal threat" to Pakistan's armed forces are the small club of traitors, who are steering Pakistan to unrelenting destruction.

And by ordering this raid, the Kayani-Zardari regime has provided more evidence. Rather than standing aside so that the people of Pakistan and the sincere officers within the armed forces restore Islamic rule to these lands through the establishment of the Khilafah "Caliphate", the regime is playing the role of watchdogs for the Americans by striking the movement for Khilafah "Caliphate" as much as they can. Let them know that each and every action is merely fuelling the risen anger against them and hastens the end of their oppressive rule. Let them consider that Allah is not neglectful of what they do and they will be seized by their necks soon.

((وَلَا تَحْسَبَنَّ اللَّهَ غَافِلًا عَمَّا يَعْمَلُ الظَّالِمُونَ ۚ إِنَّمَا يُؤَخِّرُهُمْ لِيَوْمٍ تَشْخَصُ فِيهِ الْأَبْصَارُ))

"Do not consider that Allah is neglectful of what the oppressors do. but He gives them respite up to a Day when the eyes will stare in horror." [Ibrahim: 42]

The anti-Islamic policy of the Russian authorities has become more and more obvious. The Kremlin does not want to admit its inability to stop the expansion of Islam. And regional authorities have no idea how to please the Kremlin in this issue, which is clearly seen in the example of Tatarstan.

17 February 2013, Kayani - Zardari's thugs raided the seminar organized by Hizb ut Tahrir /Wilayah Pakistan at the headquarters city of the Pakistani army in Rawalpindi and arrested Mr. Saad Jagranvi, Head of the Central Contact Committee, and Shabab Hizb ut Tahrir organizers of the seminar. The re-arrest came after Saad Jagranvi's participation in the mass campaign with public speeches and rallies in Pakistan's capital Islamabad and Rawalpindi to invite people to work with the sincere workers to establish a caliphate. This recording features photographs of the seminar and public events organized and then displays the words of Haqq delivered by Brother Saad Jagranvi before entering the courtroom, on Monday, 18 February 2013.

On 12 February 2013, during the State of the Union Address, U.S. President Barack Obama announced, "Tonight, I can announce that over the next year, another 34,000 American troops will return home from Afghanistan. This withdrawal will continue. And by the end of next year, our war in Afghanistan will be over." Just before this announcement, Pakistan had already started the release of Afghan Talban which has increased its pace further. Before this announcement, on 03 February 2013, the spokesman of Tehrike Talban Pakistan (TTP) Ehsan Ullah Ehsan suddenly, through a video, offered peace negotiation with Government of Pakistan which was welcomed by traitors within the political and military leadership. They organized an all-parties conference and issued declarations supporting the negotiations. The hypocrisy is apparent.  Previously, when most of the people of Pakistan were demanding the end to military operation in tribal region and advised the government to start negotiations with the people of tribal regions, the traitors in the military and political leadership whole-heartedly supported military operations and strongly opposed any negotiation, rather they claim that this war is our war and we must win it at any cost.

At the same time the traitor rulers are trying to secure the attendance of most prominent religious scholars of Pakistan at the Afghan Ullema Conference which is scheduled for the first or second week of March in Kabul. At the start of the Afghan occupation, traitors amongst the political and military leadership supported America-politically, militarily, and provided logistic and intelligence support. Similarly America is trying to gain the support of Pakistan again through the traitors in the political and military leadership in order to force Afghan Talban and the Muslims of Afghanistan to surrender to the American "solution" for Afghanistan, which is a partial troop withdrawal and full control of the country through a puppet government. For this purpose, America is trying to create a positive political environment and public opinion with the release of Afghan Talban in Pakistan and organizing the Ullema Conference in Kabul.

This entire situation is highly regrettable because when America wanted to invade, occupy and strengthen its position in Afghanistan, it secured the support of Pakistan's General Musharraf and currently America seeks to exit the Afghan quagmire in good shape; it once again finds support from Musharraf's former right-hand man, General Kayani. America could neither have invaded nor occupied Afghanistan without the help of Pakistan, or leave Afghanistan respectfully without their help. This shows that the seat of power in this region is Pakistan and without its help, America can not do much in this region. On 14 February 2013, former American ambassador to Pakistan, Cameron Munter said, "The fact that we were unable to say that we were sorry until July, cost our country literally billions of dollars." He was pointing to the costly shift of sending supplies for Afghanistan via Central Asia, instead of via Pakistan. This statement is an admission of Pakistan's strength and its capability.

By becoming a part of this American war, achieved nothing but losses. Contrary to Musharraf's promises, neither the Kashmir dispute has been settled, nor has Pakistan's economic situation improved, nor has its international stature improved and nor has it increased the security of its nuclear assets. Instead the Kashmir issue has been buried and Pakistan incurred losses of more then seventy billion dollars to its economy and the lost forty thousand military and civilian lives. Pakistan is seen internationally as America's donkey, which beats it constantly, demanding more. The increased American presence within Pakistan certainly does not add to the security of Pakistan's nuclear weapons.  And is if all this were not enough, America is to establish a permanent presence on our doorstep, under the disguise of "withdrawal."

The Muslims must decisively mobilize to end this unfolding treachery. Initially, Musharraf and his cronies committed treason on the grounds that if we support America in its endeavor in Afghanistan, America will help Pakistan for the resolution of the Kashmir dispute and to strengthen its economy. Now the traitors within military and political leadership, headed by General Kayani and Zardari, are committing treachery again by forwarding this argument that we should help America in its withdrawal, to exit this war. But sixty-six years of Pakistan's history proves that as long as the traitors in the political and military leadership continue to secure the seat of power, they will sacrifice Pakistan, its people and its resources to fulfill American objectives. The time for the establishment of the Khilafah "Caliphate" is needed to end American presence in the region and to rid traitors within the political and military leadership. A powerful Khilafah "Caliphate" state will unify Pakistan, Afghanistan, Bangladesh and Central Asian Muslim countries and secure this region from the hostile American, British and Russian states. There is no solution other than the establishment of the Khilafah "Caliphate" State. This is the obligation of our Deen, Islam, and a lesson in Muslim history as well.
