On 10^th January 2014, in Karachi, a police officer, Chaudry Aslam, was assassinated in a bomb attack. Over the last few years, this police officer attained a reputation for arresting a number of tribal militants and killing some of them in police encounters in Karachi. Immediately after this assassination, the Raheel-Nawaz regime's mouthpieces declared him as a martyr and the idea of a decisive operation against the tribal militants was raised. It was the first time in Pakistan that the head of the army issued a condolence message for an assassinated police officer and flowers were sent from him to adorn the grave.

Comment:

Since 2000, several police officers have been assassinated in Karachi. Most of these police officers were those who took active role in an operation against a particular political party, but until now the regime mouth pieces neither declared them as martyrs nor did they raise a debate asking for a decisive operation against the killers nor did the head of the army issue a condolences through a press release issued by I.S.P.R. The manner, in which discussion was generated after the assassination of Chaudry Aslam, with demands raised that an operation like Swat must be conducted in Karachi, indicates that the purpose of this assassination was to generate public opinion for the extension of the so-called War on Terror to the major cities of Pakistan.

Since the announcement of negotiations between the regime and the tribal militants, on American instructions, attacks on army, police, politicians and civilian and military installations have also been increased. The purpose of negotiations with tribal Muslims is not to establish peace in Pakistan, rather America is trying to force acceptance for its limited withdrawal from Afghanistan. In order to assist America, the Raheel-Nawaz regime on the one hand is promoting negotiations using various religious, political and retired military figures, which apparently have an anti-American stance, so they can convince the tribal militants to make way for the American plan. Whilst on the other hand, the Raheel-Nawaz regime has given free hand to elements to work hand-in-hand with the Raymond Davis network in order to conduct attacks on military and civilian personnel and installations, so they have the necessary public opinion on their side to launch a military operation as an added pressure on the tribal militants.

Any negotiation with the American enemy is treachery against Allah (swt), His Messenger (saw) and the Muslims. It is an obligation upon the sincere officers of the armed forces to foil this evil conspiracy and give the Bayah to re-establish Khilafah "Caliphate" in order to prove their allegiance with Allah (swt), His Messenger (saw) and the Muslims. In this blessed month of Rabi ul-Awwal, the Ansar of Madinah established the Islamic state for the first time, so it is upon the Ansars of today to re-establish the Islamic state again and fulfill the prophecy of the Messenger (saw)

«ثُمَّ تَكُونُ خِلَافَةً عَلَى مِنْهَاجِ»

"And once again there will be Khilafah "Caliphate" upon the methodology of Prophethood". And for Allah (swt) it is not difficult.
