The people of Bangladesh have not removed Hasina to handover their ‘business’ to America

News:

US President Joe Biden met with Bangladesh's interim leader Muhammad Yunus on the margins of the UN's annual summit, in a show of support after an uprising toppled the country's autocratic Hasina government. Yunus, a Nobel Peace Prize laureate, later received high praise from former president Bill Clinton, who told "You're the only old guy I know who was ever drafted for his eminent position by the young people of his country," Clinton quipped about Yunus's elevation to interim leader. "That's because he has succeeded in doing what we all must do: we all have to stay in the future business." (The Daily Sun, 25 September 2024)

Comment:

The reason mass people in Bangladesh have stood up valiantly against Hasina and removed her regime by shedding their blood was to be liberated not only from her tyranny but also from the Western neo-imperialism. Even though India unabashedly backed Hasina, but the people of Bangladesh were aware that America also used Hasina at the expense of people’s wellbeing for its geopolitical gains and benefits. So, the interim government of Bangladesh must not have any doubt that people’s sacrifice, their will and aspiration were not to hand over the land from India's grip to the Western imperialists. But unfortunately, the interim government is also playing no different than the secular puppet rulers. The people in Bangladesh are not being allowed by these rulers and politicians to come out of the game set by the West. We see the Ummah's desire for real change, the desire for liberation from Western imperialism being subtly handed over to the West. Like what we witnessed in the post-Arab Spring period, here also we see people’s desire for change are being manipulated and controlled by the western hegemony. Our youth are being presented in various platforms in America as if we cannot stand up on our feet without America’s recognition. Our youth are being presented as heroes to the imperialist America who have allowed Hasina for years to become terrible tyrant. The key agenda is not to let our boys view America as their enemy. Lietrally the current Chief of Bangladesh (Dr. Muhammad Yunus) begged to the foreign imperialist powers: "So, please help them, support them. So that their dreams come true. And, this is a responsibility we take together. And, you will be with us," he said all these holding Bill Clinton's hand.

To achieve the true liberation, the people of Bangladesh must give their authority to a ruler (Caliph) who will run the affairs of the people by challenging the Western world order. The ruling contract with him will be based on the condition of freedom from the imperialist kuffar and implementation of the Hukm Shariah in its entirety. Unless we fail to bring back the Khilafah (Caliphate), the true guardianship of the Muslims, people’s will for change will go in vain with every such mass uprising, and, sadly, we will always be in the doomed loop of Western secular democracy. Allah (swt) says,

[يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اسْتَجِيبُوا للهِ وَلِلرَّسُولِ إِذَا دَعَاكُمْ لِمَا يُحْيِيكُمْ]

“O you who have believed, respond to Allah and to the Messenger when he calls you to that which gives you life” [Surah Al-Anfal:24].
