The Prime Minister's office released on 6th February 2015 figures in which it was claiming the arrest of over ten thousand suspected "terrorists" under the National Action Plan, without divulging any background information on the detainees or their purported networks. The press statement did not mention any information on how and when the government intends to prosecute these ten thousand people, who have been arrested under various charges in more than fourteen thousand raids, conducted throughout the country. And all of this was since the December 2014 after an attack on Peshawar Army Public school in which more than one hundred forty people were killed in an evil attack, most of them children.

Comment

In the aftermath of Peshawar Public school attack and the subsequent announcement of National Action Plan, the Raheel-Nawaz regime started a crackdown on those fighting American forces in Afghanistan, as well as those who call for the implementation of Islam in Pakistan. They even did not spare Masjid Imams and arrested thousands of them under the Loud Speaker Act. Government agencies are chasing Madrassa students and abducting them. However, their madness reached a peak, when they raided the house of the Jegranvi family in Lahore Gulberg, a highly respectable and well known family.

The regime thugs came to arrest a family member of Jegranvi who has been placed on the notorious Fourth Schedule for the last couple of years. However, when they could not get him, they made a charge sheet of his brothers and their wives on 11th February 2015. Yet, even this was not enough from the regime, 13th February 2015 just before Jummah Salah, the regime thugs returned back and violated the sanctity of the Jegranvi's House. Moreover, a thug of the regime, grabbed the hand of one of the women, whilst she was carrying her disabled child in her arms, and arrested her. Now that woman is in the awful Kot Lakpat Jail along her small child, waiting for bail application to be heard by the judiciary.

This is not the first time the Jegranvi family has faced the wrath of the regime. Their only crime is that some of their men are working with Hizb ut Tahrir for the establishment of the Khilafah "Caliphate" and the whole family supports this call. In the past, several times, men of the Jegranvi family were arrested and jailed for their noble work. However, the regime's persecution never lessened their love and determination for the establishment of Islam. Now in order to break their resolve, the regime puts its dirty hands on their woman, which is a red line in Pakistani society as it is a society which regards Islam highly. By doing so, this regime has sent a message to the whole society, that to please their Kafir masters, it can sink to any low level.

Alhamdulillah anger at the regime is overcoming the fear of it. The regime's brutal campaign has angered many. The regime's thugs have been violating the sanctity of privacy by breaking into the houses without permission, even terrorizing women and their small children. The regime does not tolerate any opposition to its National Action Plan which is in reality an American Action Plan to strengthen American Raj in Pakistan. This regime has abandoned Islam and its people and feels proud in serving its Kafir masters, sitting in Washington. It glows with pride when its men receive medals and guard of honors from the Kuffar, though surely they deserve the wrath of Allah (swt). Allah (swt) said,

((وَمَن يُشَاقِقِ ٱلرَّسُولَ مِن بَعْدِ مَا تَبَيَّنَ لَهُ ٱلْهُدَىٰ وَيَتَّبِعْ غَيْرَ سَبِيلِ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ نُوَلِّهِ مَا تَوَلَّىٰ وَنُصْلِهِ جَهَنَّمَ وَسَآءَتْ مَصِيراً))

"And whoever contradicts and opposes the Messenger (Muhammad ) after the right path has been shown clearly to him, and follows other than the believers' way. We shall keep him in the path he has chosen, and burn him in Hell - what an evil destination" [Al-Nisa: 115].
