Press Release
The Hasina Government has made Former IG of Police Benazir Ahmed a Scapegoat to 'Whitewash' the Systemic Corruption of some of her Party's 'Political Elites' and Capitalists

The former head of Hasina regime’s thug and head of gangster police and RAB forces - Benazir Ahmed and his family's wealth worth about thousands of crores of taka’s have been published in the media. The people of the country were not at all surprised to know his wealth; rather, the people are surprised for what reason at this moment Hasina government has made its loyal slave a scapegoat. In fact, Hasina - the ‘crown’ of the corrupt and looters - has consistently scapegoated these type of slaves over the years to 'whitewash' the systemic corruption of some of her government's political elites and Capitalists. With the blessings of this rotten secular system, they are freed from legal battles and enjoy this illegal wealth. Arrest of 'Casino Samrat' and 'Sahed Gong', seizure of 617 bank accounts of MP Papul, his wife and daughter, etc., are some examples of such cheap dramas, which the Hasina government has widely promoted to hide the true picture of its corruption and pretend that the government does not spare them even if they are corrupt party members or loyalists.

People are well aware that the Hasina government has indirectly burdened the public by printing thousands of crores of taka’s to fund the bank robbers and has taken steps to merge some banks to protect them. The digital theft of 'Prince' Sajeev Joy and the corruption of 62 billion dollars are the talk of the town on social media, but there is no answer yet. The name of Aziz Khan, the head of a 'small' summit group, has emerged on the list of Singapore's top billionaires list to the massive looting of the power and energy sector during the Hasina government, with at least $1.12 billion in assets in Singapore, according to Forbes. Despite the news of bank robbery and smuggling of at least 1 billion dollars to Singapore against S. Alam, the poster boy of the country's bank robbery, known as the cashier of the Sheikh family, the chamber court of the country's secular Lord Supreme Court suspended the investigation of S. Alam and issued an order. And those whose names are in the Panama Papers documents and the Swiss Bank report are out of touch. These examples of systemic corruption are 'least but not the last'. The reality is that corruption is an integral part of the existing Godless secular system and the factory of corrupt rulers and capitalists. Because this ideal makes people obsessed with attaining the highest worldly benefits and diverts their thoughts from the judgment day of the Hereafter, i.e. 'The world is big, eat and be full!' Allah (swt) says,

[أَلْهَاكُمُ التَّكَاثُرُ * حَتَّى زُرْتُمُ الْمَقَابِرَ]

“The competition in [worldly] increase diverts you. Until you visit the graveyards” [At-Takasur: 1-2].

     O People, the only way out of this situation is to uproot secular thought from the society and bring back the Khilafah (Caliphate) system. In the Khilafah, all laws and regulations are determined on the basis of Allah's commands and prohibitions. As a result, no ruler can make laws to legitimize his looting, just as he cannot exempt him from punishment and impunity from someone's crime. When a woman from the noble and influential Banu Makhjum tribe of Makkah was accused and found guilty of theft, some of the Muslims came to RasulAllah (saw) with a recommendation not to cut off her hands as punishment. RasulAllah (saw) became very angry and said:

«أَتَشْفَعُ فِي حَدٍّ مِنْ حُدُودِ اللَّهِ؟ ثُمَّ قَامَ فَخَطَبَ قَالَ: يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّمَا ضَلَّ مَنْ قَبْلَكُمْ أَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا إِذَا سَرَقَ الشَّرِيفُ تَرَكُوهُ وَإِذَا سَرَقَ الضَّعِيفُ فِيهِمْ أَقَامُوا عَلَيْهِ الْحَدَّ، وَايْمُ اللَّهِ لَوْ أَنَّ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتَ مُحَمَّدٍ سَرَقَتْ لَقَطَعَ مُحَمَّدٌ يَدَهَا»

“Have you come to intercede in a matter where Allah's law applies?” "Allah destroyed many nations before you because they forgave their nobles and rich people when they stole (crimes), but if a poor person committed a crime, they would punish him with the prescribed punishment of Allah. By the Lord of the Universe! If my daughter Fatimah had been accused of stealing, I would have cut off her hand as well” (Bukhari, Nasa'i and Ibn Majah).
