Raheel-Nawaz Regime Aids America’s Puppets in Afghanistan

Pakistan has made a fresh pledge of $500 million for economic development projects in Afghanistan. Adviser to Prime Minister on Foreign Affairs Sartaj Aziz while addressing Brussels Conference on Afghanistan on 5 October 2016 said this amount is in addition to the $500 million existing package under which projects in infrastructure, education and health are nearing completion. This was later commended by President Ashraf Ghani. This announcement from Pakistan came in a meeting where international donors pledged $15.2 billion to support the current Afghan regime for the next four years and urged the Taliban to lay down arms.

The US and IMF have long dictated foreign policy to Pakistan using the tool of economic aid and assistance. Pakistan's rulers claim that we cannot stand without such aid and so we must continue to depend on colonialist aid.

They will even throw hundreds of millions of dollars at the American puppets in Afghanistan, whilst maintaining their claim. Moreover, their pledge comes around a time when Afghan resistance movement has continued to prevent the American forces from settling. Yet, Pakistan's current rulers have rushed to the rescue, with tribal operations, border management, fencing borders and the creation of new check posts to prevent the Muslims of Pakistan's tribal regions assisting their Muslim brothers in Afghanistan in their Jihad against the American occupation. Now in addition to persuading the Mujahideen to lose in negotiations that which they would never lose on the battlefield, Pakistan's rulers are supporting the Afghan puppet rulers with huge finance. Sartaj Aziz proclaimed, “We welcome the peace deal signed between Afghan Government and Hizb-i-Islami... our message to Taliban remains to shun violence and to join the peace process.”

Pakistan has the capability of preventing the US presence in the region of the world's only Muslim nuclear power, which even the Americans know well. Daniel Markey from the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies told members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee during a Congressional hearing said: "Air corridors are readily closed and drones are easy to shoot down, so if Pakistan had really wanted to end what in 2009, then-CIA Director Leon Panetta called the "only game in town in terms of confronting and trying to disrupt the al-Qaida leadership," or to further complicate the US war effort in Afghanistan, it could have done so without breaking much of a sweat. It still could." However, the traitorous Pakistani leadership continues to serve the US objectives and directives.

The Western colonialists along with their puppet Muslim regimes spend billions of dollars to invade and occupying Islamic Lands and crushing any armed resistance. However the Muslims will never accept the glitter of dollars in exchange of surrendering their Deen. Allah (swt) said,

(إِنَّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا يُنْفِقُونَ أَمْوَالَهُمْ لِيَصُدُّوا عَنْ سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَسَيُنْفِقُونَهَا ثُمَّ تَكُونُ عَلَيْهِمْ حَسْرَةً ثُمَّ يُغْلَبُونَ وَالَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا إِلَى جَهَنَّمَ يُحْشَرُون)

“Verily, those who disbelieve spend their wealth to hinder (men) from the path of Allah, and so will they continue to spend it; but in the end it will become an anguish for them. Then they will be overcome. And those who disbelieve will be gathered to Hell.” [Surah al-Anfal 8:36] The Khilafah "Caliphate" (Caliphate) on the Method of the Prophethood will arise soon and unify the Muslims on both side of the Af-Pak border as one force to stand against the crusader presence that violates Muslim Land and has thrown the entire region into turmoil.

The Capitalist System is the Reason for Poverty in Pakistan

On 2nd October 2016, the World Bank released the inaugural edition of “Poverty and Shared Prosperity”—a new series that will report on the latest and most accurate estimates and trends in global poverty and shared prosperity annually. The World Bank data shows that as many as 45% Pakistani make only $3.10 a day whilst 8.3% population lives below poverty line which by its standard is $1.90 a day.

The government has been spouting glittery economic statistics about investments in mega-projects, whilst the ground shows that Muslims are having to live on around 325 Rupees a day, which is around Rs 9000 a month. Such low incomes have brought misery to the masses, whereby many are pushed to commit suicide. Moreover, the government is constantly increasing the basic living expenses through taxation and depreciation of the Rupee. The government takes hundreds of millions of dollars interest-based loans from colonialist institutions, ensuring future generations drown in debt due to the sin and injustice of interest. In addition, the loans come with conditions to increase taxation and privatize state and public assets. Hence the government has been selling off many lucrative assets such as Karachi Electric Supply Corp. (KESC) and Pakistan Telecommunication (PTCL) to private hands. This allows it to temporarily adjust its balance sheet and pay back the colonialist institutions. However, the increase in tariffs by these private firms cripples the common citizen. The other aspect of these privatization initiatives is that government will not be able to generate its own revenue through such assets, resorting instead to increasing taxes, which will again over-burden the common citizen.

In the capitalist system the distribution of wealth is not a concern. In the capitalist system, the focus of is to increase the production, in the belief that increasing production will automatically have a trickle-down effect.

It is an absurd notion and the current situation around the globe demonstrates that. In Islam, the legal rulings have been defined such that the distribution of wealth becomes the fundamental economic concern, removing the stark disparity between the rich and poor. Privatization of public property is not allowed and the state ownership of large scale industry will occur. Intervention by colonial institutions like the IMF and World Bank is forbidden. In the Khilafah "Caliphate", the state is responsible to ensure that the basic needs of every one of its citizen is fulfilled along with the availability of opportunities to acquire luxuries. In its Introduction to the Constitution, Hizb ut Tahrir has adopted Article 125 which states, "Every individual must have all his basic needs provided for completely by the State, and he/she must be guaranteed to satisfy his luxurious needs to the highest possible level." The way forward for actual economic revival in Pakistan and elsewhere is the abolition of the Capitalist economic system and the comprehensive re-establishment of the Islamic economic system through the Khilafah "Caliphate" (Caliphate) on the Method of the Prophethood.

Not Tit-For-Tat, End the Indian Liberalization Campaign in Pakistan

The amount of airtime for Indian content in Pakistan will adopt a tit-for-tat format according to the format that India has adopted for the airing of Pakistani content, the Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (PEMRA) announced on 3 October 2016. In the body’s 119th session in the federal capital, it was decided that Pemra will only allow airtime to Indian content if India allows airtime to Pakistani content.

In times when the Hindu state has perpetrated atrocities in Occupied Kashmir, along with the martyrdom killing of Pakistan troops across the Line of Control, the Raheel-Nawaz regime decides to play tit-for-tat regarding the promotion of Hindu culture in Muslim land. Instead of radically cutting ties, adopting a war stance against Indian belligerency and delivering a jaw breaking response, the regime has fallen to the level of tit-for-tat, schoolyard antics of name-calling and taunting which it regards as statesman-like behaviour.

Successive secular regimes have implemented the colonialist policy of liberalization that enabled Indian movies, with vulgarity and Hindu-rituals, to penetrate deep into our society, using feeble excuses such as promoting a soft image. Now even news channels promote lowly secular, liberal values to pollute and subvert our next generations. The secular regimes use this atmosphere to promote free-mixing between genders in concerts and degrading displays of the female form in fashion shows. By promoting liberal culture, the regime is deliberately targeting the Muslim masses in the hope of weakening their ever growing attachment to Islam.

It is only the Khilafah "Caliphate" (Caliphate) upon the Method of Prophethood that will militarily confront such belligerent states which are killing the Muslims. It is only a righteous Khaleefah that will eradicate Kufr values from the society and nurture the next generation by that which pleases Allah (swt) and His Messenger (saaw). Allah (swt) said,


اِنَّ الَّذِيۡنَ يُحِبُّوۡنَ اَنۡ تَشِيۡعَ الۡفَاحِشَةُ فِى الَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا لَهُمۡ عَذَابٌ اَلِيۡمٌۙ فِى الدُّنۡيَا وَالۡاٰخِرَةِؕ وَاللّٰهُ يَعۡلَمُ وَاَنۡـتُمۡ لَا تَعۡلَمُوۡنَ)

“Indeed, those who like that immorality should be spread [or publicized] among those who have believed will have a painful punishment in this world and the Hereafter. And Allah knows and you do not know.” [Surah An-Nur 24:19]
