Regime's Accusations Against India Have No Weight Without Appropriate Action

Ahead of the high-level talk between the two countries in August, Pakistan is preparing a dossier on “India’s role in fomenting terrorism in Balochistan and Karachi." The dossier will likely be carried by Sartaj Aziz, who is also Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s adviser on foreign affairs.

In the Peshawar attack, the Pakistani Taliban had slaughtered at least 150 people in a brazen attack on the Army Public School on December 16, 2014.

It is the Raheel-Nawaz regime's policies that have bolstered Indian aggression against us, whether in the recent border tensions or orchestrating attacks within Pakistan. Since the Clinton era, the regime's master, America, has wanted to exploit Pakistan to win over India to its sphere of influence, with the promise of the permanent burial of the Kashmir issue, enhancing India's presence in Afghanistan, strengthening India’s economy by gaining access to our huge market and the reduction of our military capabilities, including our nuclear weapons.

As for BJP-led India's master, America, the regime allows the existence of US intelligence and private military on our soil, who have bases throughout Pakistan, including the sensitive military areas. These US assets infiltrate loose tribal networks and instigate attacks against our armed forces and civilian population, as a result of which casualties have now exceeded 150,000 according to the regime itself. Is this not considered harmful for the country's security and national interest? Does this not confirm that the National Action Plan is a National Inaction Plan?

The Khilafah "Caliphate" will close the supply line to NATO forces in Afghanistan, which is used to maintain American influence and the resultant Indian influence. It will expel all American and Indian officials and diplomatic missions from its territories. Adopting a war footing, it will end all energy and trade relations with India and America. Only the Khilafah "Caliphate" will take the necessary tangible steps to end colonialist interference in Muslim Lands by adopting a war stance with the belligerent hostile nations, which means severing all ties with them.

No More Face Changes to Democracy, Khilafah "Caliphate" is the Need of Our Time

A judicial commission's judgement that crushed the opposition party PTI's accusations against the ruling PML-N has ignited tension in parliament. Leader of the Opposition in National Assembly Syed Khursheed Ahmad Shah on 24 July warned against adopting a resolution tabled in the house for the acceptance of resignations submitted by lawmakers of Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI), noting that such a move would open a Pandora’s box and worsen the situation. Moreover, the Judicial commission’s verdict on the 2013 elections puts the rise of Imran Khan’s PTI in proper perspective. PTI’s rise since 2011 was part of a broader trend in the Muslim World which many termed as a demographic shift in the politics of the Muslim World. There was a change of guard; the urban, educated Muslim Youth took it upon themselves to rise up against the stagnating colonial structures imposed on their heads by Western colonialists.

The Arab Spring had some salient features. It was an expression of Muslim rage against the rulers of the Muslim World. It was also a rejection of colonialism and Western influence in Muslim lands. It was an expression of desire to organize Muslim societies according to Islam’s teachings. And the elites of the Muslim World were scared, like anything. One after the other regimes fell in the face of popular revolt and the nation states introduced in the Muslim World by Western colonialists crumbled and crashed. Pakistan’s elites were scared as well. Hence they orchestrated the rise of Imran Khan’s PTI to channel the anger of the urban middle class youth though a party which they can control. They feared that this anger may wash away the prevalent system and hence worked to preserve the system. This is what PTI has done since its rise to popularity. It gave life and support to a dying system. The revolutionary mood and the anger of the masses of Pakistan were channelled towards supporting democracy and calling for participation in it.

With hindsight and in retrospect, Imran Khan’s PTI was established to protect the existing elites and the existing system. This is evident from the mass inclusion of the old elite in to the PTI. And here is a lesson for all sincere people who supported the PTI as well as those who were skeptical of it. No change can come through democracy. Democracy is a colonial system introduced in our lands by Western powers. It only protects the interests of elites and their Western Masters.

The revival of the Muslim World lies in adhering to Islam and its system the Khilafah "Caliphate". Our history is testimony to this fact. And our terrible experiment with democracy only strengthens this conviction. Let us not be disappointed, for Muslims never give up hope of a better future because they believe in their Lord and expect good from Him. Let’s correct our course and work towards the establishment of Khilafah "Caliphate" in Muslim lands.

Regime Supports Afghan Talks to Secure Foreign Occupation and Exploitation

Briefing the Pakistani media at the end of a 10-day visit to Washington, Prime Minister’s Special Assistant for Foreign Affairs Tariq Fatemi said that Pakistan used “whatever little influence” it had on the Taliban to encourage them to participate in the first ever “publicly acknowledged” meeting between the rebels and Afghan officials in Murree in July. Senior officials from Pakistan, China and the United States also attended the closed-door talks suggesting that the Murree process had the backing of all major international players. According to a statement issued by the Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR) on 23 July, General Campbell called on Chief of Army Staff General Raheel Sharif at the GHQ in Rawalpindi to commend efforts regarding the Murree talks. Noting that the two sides were meeting again, in Murree on 31 July, Mr Fatemi said Pakistan was determined to ensure that this did not prove to be “a one-off exercise”.

The Raheel-Nawaz regime is working to facilitate the continued influence of America within Afghanistan. America invaded Afghanistan and then struggled for over a decade to maintain its influence when faced with poorly armed but determined tribal fighters. America's fate would have been similar to that of the previous British Imperial and Soviet Russian occupiers, who were resoundingly repulsed never to return again, were it not for the role of successive traitors within Pakistan's military leadership.

Beginning in the era of Musharraf, through Kayani and now Raheel, the Pakistan Army has been ordered to fight the tribal resistance, burning our military personnel to rescue the American's from doom in the “Graveyard of the Empires.” Following Washington's demands to “do more,” America's own cowardly troops rested and breathed sighs of relief. As if this were not enough, General Raheel is now facilitating talks to secure America an influence in Afghanistan that it could never achieve for itself. The talks will guarantee the puppet Afghanistan government's agreement to open the doors to American presence on the doorstep of the Muslim World's only nuclear power. The talks will also cement the Chinese desire to develop its grip on Afghanistan's immense resources as well as strangling supplies to the brave resisting Muslims of East Turkestan that it has persecuted for decades.

Only the Khilafah "Caliphate" will mobilize the Muslims military, economic and political resources to finally secure the Muslim Lands from occupation and exploitation.

Opposition Flogs the Dead Horse of Democracy

Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf Chairman Imran Khan continued with his attack on officials of the Election Commission and returning officers who he said had failed to discharge their duty before and during May 2013 general elections. In a six-page letter delivered to the chief election commissioner (CEC) on 30 July 2015, the PTI Chief argued that based on the findings of the three-judge poll inquiry commission the onus was on the ECP’s head to take necessary action. He also called for disciplinary action against the ECP officials and sought a response from CEC retired Justice Sardar Raza Khan on various issues highlighted in the inquiry commission’s report, especially the ECP’s shortcomings and lapses during the last elections.

The PTI’s reaction shows it as a traditional party, putting its faith in Democracy and offering nothing but the status quo. It seems to believe that the country faces a lot of problems and those problems can only be solved by making Imran PM. The PTI seems to believe that elections will be fair if the right people are elected; just as the right person (Imran) will make the government right. The PTI holds back from the conclusion that the system of Democracy itself is not delivering, not any particular ruler. PTI is not unique in this fundamental error.

Democratic politicians of all hues have hammered home the message that only elected governments can solve Pakistan's long standing and deep problems, whilst ignoring the fact that this is something even military rulers endorse by keeping the current democratic Constitution when they take over, and the result is that basically both civilian and military rulers support the same failing system of Democracy.

Real change can only come from a Constitution whose every article is derived from the Quran and the Sunnah. Real change will only occur when Pakistan is ruled by a system which adheres to the commands and prohibitions determined by Allah (swt) and His Messenger (saw), rather than being swayed by the whims and desires of men and women in assemblies. It is time to abolish democracy and establish the Khilafah "Caliphate".
