The joint communiqué issued from Delhi yesterday (12 January 2010) after talks between Sheikh Hasina and Manmohan Singh is a declaration of surrender which demonstrates Sheikh Hasina's unashamed slavery to her masters in Delhi. The communiqué states that the two Prime Ministers agreed to put in place a ‘comprehensive framework of cooperation.' However it presents a long list of what Sheikh Hasina has agreed to with the polytheist enemy state, which can only be described as a comprehensive framework of surrender.

It was agreed that Bangladesh will allow use of Chittagong and Mongla sea ports for movement of goods to and from India through road and rail. This represents a great prize for India who would reap immense economic benefits from this while it represents a strategic danger for Bangladesh. They also agreed to one-time or longer term transportation of ODCs (Over Dimensional Cargo) from Ashuganj. This is nothing but an agreement on turning the one-time transit facility Sheikh Hasina's government had already agreed to into a permanent one in the future. 

According to the communiqué Manmohan Singh and Hasina underscored the need for both countries to actively cooperate on security issues. This only means the government of Sheikh Hasina will continue the ongoing collaboration to fulfill India's security needs. We need not remind everyone of Sheikh Hasina and her government's cooperation with India in the killing of army officers in Pilkhana.

As well as this Sheikh Hasina signed agreement with India on combating international terrorism. Is Sheikh Hasina blind to how USA, Britain, India, and Israel are conducting crusader wars against Islam and the Muslims in the name of ‘combating international terrorism'? Hasina also conveyed Bangladesh's support in principle for India's candidature for the permanent membership of the UN Security Council. Does she not see how this council of terrorist nations gives legitimacy to the occupation and destruction of Muslim countries including Kashmir which India is occupying for over 50 years? 

What has Sheikh Hasina got in return for her slavery? No doubt Sheikh Hasina and her regime will raise a hue and cry about her ‘successful diplomacy' and ‘political acumen' that Manmohan Singh reiterated the assurance that India would not take steps on the Tipaimukh project that would adversely impact Bangladesh. That the Prime Minister of India announced a credit of US$ 1 billion to Bangladesh for a range of projects. And that he also agreed to supply to Bangladesh 250 MW electricity from its grid. Regarding India's assurance about Tipaimukh damn the Muslims of Bangladesh have no reason to trust such empty promises after seeing decades of Indian deception on a whole host of issues. As for the issue of credit and the supply of electricity, they are not gains from ‘successful diplomacy' neither signs of ‘political acumen.' Such loans and assistance are only means of creating and extending imperialist domination over the country.

O Muslims!

The government of Sheikh Hasina was brought to power by imperialists USA, Britain and India to serve their interests and consolidate their authority over the country. And her government is working relentlessly to this end. Allah (SWT) says in the Noble Qur'an,

{... وَلَن يَجْعَلَ اللّهُ لِلْكَافِرِينَ عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ سَبِيلاً }النساء141

‘And Allah will never make a way for the disbelievers to have authority over the believers' [TMQ Surah An-Nisa: 141]

It is forbidden for Muslims to accept the domination of disbelievers and polytheists or remain silent about it. Hizb ut-Tahrir  calls upon you to protest against the treachery of the government. And furthermore remove the traitor government and re-establish the Khilafa which will sincerely look after your interests and not those of your enemies.
