Press Release
The Interim Government is being Alienated from the People due to their Loyalty to America; on the other hand, the Stance of our Military in Favor of the Country's Sovereignty on the 'Corridor' and 'Port' Issues is an Expression of People’s Expectations

While the interim government, ignoring the Rohingya Muslims and the sovereignty of the country, is desperate to provide a 'corridor' for the geopolitical interests of America and hand over the operations of the 'New Mooring Container Terminal' to American influenced company "DP World", the strong stance of our military in favor of the country's sovereignty has been widely praised by the people. The Messenger of Allah (saw) said,

«كُلُّكُمْ رَاعٍ وَكُلُّكُمْ مَسْئُولٌ عَنْ رَعِيَّتِهِ، فَالْإِمَامُ الَّذِي عَلَى النَّاسِ رَاعٍ وَهُوَ مَسْئُولٌ عَنْ رَعِيَّتِهِ» “Each of you is responsible. So each of you will be questioned about his subordinates. For example, the Imam (ruler) of the people is responsible for them, so he will be questioned about them” (Sahih al-Bukhari).

It is clear from this hadith that the responsibility entrusted to every person in position is a trust and it is obligatory (fardh) for him to protect this trust. On the other hand, not protecting this trust is betrayal to the people, for which he will have to face accountability in this world and a severe punishment awaits him in the Hereafter. Ignoring the protests and anger of the people, the interim government's promise to implement these colonialist projects of America, has created doubts among the people about their activities and they are being identified by the people as loyal to the Americans. As a result, the interim government is being isolated from the people and facing an existential crisis. The fallen Hasina government, loyal to Britain, allowed the warships of the British-backed Myanmar junta to operate in the maritime areas of St. Martin and Teknaf to facilitate the fight against the Arakan Army. The US-backed Buddhist criminal Arakan Army is also responsible for the displacement, torture and genocide of Rohingya Muslims, like the Myanmar junta government did. Therefore, the interim government's support for the Arakan Army is a betrayal of the Rohingya Muslims, and a shameless example of loyalty to the USA who are involved in the genocide of Muslims worldwide, including Palestine-Iraq-Afghanistan-Syria-Yemen.

On the other hand, the masks of the pro-American political groups and intellectuals have also been exposed to the people. They are blindly supporting the colonialist project of USA and are trying to divide our military for the interests of the USA, just as Hasina tried to weaken our military by implementing the Pilkhana conspiracy for the interests of India. In fact, protecting the interests of the people should be one of the foundations of politics, through which the people will be united. However, these foolish political groups blindly obey the West to remain in power or to come into power, and become isolated from the people. And when they become isolated from the people, the West throws them away like tissue paper and tries to replace them with other agents, of which we have already witnessed many examples.

O Sincere Officers in the Military! No one, elected or unelected, has the right to take decisions against the sovereignty of the country. It is a proven fact that no ruling class loyal to the West ever represents the people of this country. You must have realized that because of your correct stance on behalf of the people’s interest, you have gained praise of the people, and your loyalty to Allah (swt) has been reflected, which has honored you.

Our beloved Prophet Muhammad (saw) said,

«إِنَّمَا الإِمَامُ جُنَّةٌ يُقَاتَلُ مِنْ وَرَائِهِ وَيُتَّقَى بِهِ» “Indeed, the Imam (Khalifah) is a shield under which you fight and protect yourselves with” [Sahih Muslim]. Therefore, you must restore the true leadership of the Muslim Ummah, the Khilafah (Caliphate), according to the method of Prophethood, under which you will be able to properly fulfill your responsibilities in protecting Islam, the interests of the people, and the sovereignty of the country. In the interests of Islam and Rohingya Muslims, the occupied Muslim territory of Arakan can be conquered and brought back under the Khilafah. Therefore, we in Hizb ut Tahrir sincerely call upon you to give nussrah (hand over authority) to Hizb ut Tahrir in establishing the true leadership Khilafah upon the method of Prophethood.

[يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اسْتَجِيبُوا لِلَّهِ وَلِلرَّسُولِ إِذَا دَعَاكُمْ لِمَا يُحْيِيكُمْ وَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّ اللَّهَ يَحُولُ بَيْنَ الْمَرْءِ وَقَلْبِهِ وَأَنَّهُ إِلَيْهِ تُحْشَرُونَ]

“O you who have believed, respond to Allāh and to the Messenger when he calls you to that which gives you life” [Surah Al-Anfal: 24]
