Press Release
The People of Kashmir are an Inseparable Part of the Muslim Ummah, Kashmir is not merely an ‘Internal Matter’ of India
Join in the Struggle to Establish the Khilafah (Caliphate) to Liberate Kashmir from the Occupation of Mushrik India

Hizb ut Tahrir / Wilayah Bangladesh today (Friday, 23/08/2019) after Jummah organized protest gatherings at various mosques in Dhaka and Chittagong against the stance of the Hasina regime claiming that the Kashmir issue is an ‘internal matter’ of India and the regime’s intimidating people to prevent them from expressing anger and protest against India on behalf of Muslims of Kashmir. The speakers at the protests described the calamity of Kashmir’s Muslims. Amid deafening inaction by the treacherous Muslim rulers - the agents of the Colonial West - the Mushrik state, India, has implemented the Imperialist design to fully occupy Kashmir and making it another ‘Palestine’ of this subcontinent. After scrapping Indian Constitution’s Article 370, the butcher Modi government has turned Kashmir into a death valley. By deploying huge military forces, creating a curfew-type situation, closing telephone and internet lines, a brutal oppression of Muslims is going on in occupied Kashmir.

The ruthless Indian forces are raiding home to home to mass-arrest, live firing on people’s gatherings, and the injured people cannot even go for to treatment due to the fear of arrests from hospitals. On the other hand, we are witnessing treacherous Hasina regime mocking the Muslims of Kashmir by giving cordial reception to the Indian Foreign Minister in Bangladesh. Instead of sending our Military forces in support of the Muslims of Kashmir to liberate them from Indian occupation, Hasina regime has betrayed the Muslims by claiming that the Kashmir issue is ‘internal matter’ of India to satisfy her imperialist Kafir-Mushrik masters. Moreover, they threatened the people of Bangladesh not to express anger and protest against India on behalf of the Muslims Kashmir. This treacherous regime has clearly violated Allah (swt) command:(وَإِنِ اسْتَنْصَرُوكُمْ فِي الدِّينِ فَعَلَيْكُمُ النَّصْرُ) “If they seek your help in religion, it is your duty to help them.” [Surah al-Anfal 8:72].

The speakers also said: O Muslims! The people of Kashmir are an inseparable part of the Muslim Ummah, and it is not merely an ‘internal matter’ of India. RasulAllah (saw) said,

«مَثَلُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فِي تَوَادِّهِمْ وَتَرَاحُمِهِمْ وَتَعَاطُفِهِمْ مَثَلُ الْجَسَدِ إِذَا اشْتَكَى مِنْهُ عُضْوٌ تَدَاعَى لَهُ سَائِرُ الْجَسَدِ بِالسَّهَرِ وَالْحُمَّى»

“The parable of the believers in their affection, mercy, and compassion for each other is that of a body. When any limb aches, the whole body reacts with sleeplessness and fever.” [Sahih Muslim]. The problems of Kashmir, Palestine, Myanmar along with all over the Muslim world are problems of the Muslim Ummah, what hurts a Muslim from any part of Muslim world hurts the whole Ummah. It is a responsibility from our ‘Iman’ to stand for the Muslims of Kashmiri along with all the other oppressed Muslims all over the world and solve their problems.

This fate of Kashmir is an inevitable consequence of the absence of the true and sincere leadership of the Ummah - the Khalifah (Caliph). Kashmir has always been under Indian occupation and did not get defenseless now due to the revoking of Article 370, rather its fall began the day when the imperialist enemies with the aid from our puppet rulers destroyed the Khilafah (Caliphate) in 3rd March 1924 CE, and divided us into more than 50 nation-states and forced us to accept their agents as rulers and the Kufr manmade system. We became weak and shield-less in front of our enemy. Thereafter, they have seized our lands just as a wild animal seize its prey, and their aggressions has spread to all Muslims land all over the world, including Kashmir.

The speakers also said: O Muslims! The United Nation, OIC are nothing but the imperialist tools. They cannot be the arbitrator of our fates. Only the imminent Khilafah Rashidah (rightly guided Caliphate) will send her military to liberate Kashmir along with all the other lands where Muslims are being oppressed. It was reported by Thawban:

«عِصَابَتَانِ مِنْ أُمَّتِي أَحْرَزَهُمَا اللَّهُ مِنْ النَّارِ عِصَابَةٌ تَغْزُو الْهِنْدَ وَعِصَابَةٌ تَكُونُ مَعَ عِيسَى ابْنِ مَرْيَمَ عَلَيْهِمَا السَّلَام»

“Two groups of my Ummah Allah has protected from the Hellfire: a group that will conquer India and a group that will be with 'Isa ibnu Maryam.” [Ahmad and An-Nisa’i].

The speakers ended by calling upon the people: Respond to call of Hizb ut Tahrir to join in the struggle of establishment of Khilafah Rashidah to liberate Kashmir from the occupation of Mushrik India. What can we expect from this spineless agent regime who are similarly oppressing and suppressing Muslims in their own land, and is working closely with their imperial masters to establish regional dominance of Mushrik India? It is high time to remove this Hasina regime, the agent of Kafir-Mushrik Imperialists, and bring back the shield for the Muslims-the mighty Khilafah, which will truly liberate the oppressed Muslims of Kashmir, Palestine, Arakan along with all the other oppressed Muslims in the world.

RasulAllah (saw) said:

«وَإِنَّمَا الْإِمَامُ جُنَّةٌ يُقَاتَلُ مِنْ وَرَائِهِ وَيُتَّقَى بِهِ»

“Only the Imam (the Khaleefah) is a shield, from behind whom one would fight, and by whom one would protect oneself.” [Sahih Muslim].
