Hizb ut-Tahrir's Countrywide Demonstration Against the Visit of Butcher of Salala, US General John Allen

Hizb ut-Tahrir Wilayah Pakistan demonstrated countrywide against the visit of General John Allen, the butcher of Salala. Demonstrators were carrying banners and placards declaring "Meeting the Salala butcher is a sign of treachery" and "Traitor rulers are sacrificing Pak army for America." Demonstrators condemned this shameful act of traitors within the political and military leadership, who have allowed General John Allen to visit Pakistan. They were saying that these traitors within the political and military leadership never tired of cheating the people of Pakistan through their continuously shouting that they won't sacrifice Pakistan's sovereignty and integrity. But at the same time they not only welcome those American Generals whose hands are drenched with the pure blood of the twenty four martyrs of Salala check post and thousands of Muslims who have been killed in drone attacks, but furthermore they feel pride and honour to even have a photo session with them.

Prior to Allen's visit, attacks on Pakistan armed forces have increased in the last few days and they have been killed in a vicious manner, just as it happened before the Swat operation, so that an opinion will be generated with in the armed forces so as to extend this American war of Fitna to the remaining parts of the tribal regions. Demonstrators further said that whether a ruler is a dictator or democratic, it has been proved that both have been failed to protect the lives, wealth, honour of the people as well as the sovereignty and integrity of the country. They said that only the Khilafah "Caliphate" can protect the Ummah and its interests. They demanded that the Pakistan armed forces must respond to the American aggression with an iron fist, close the American embassy and consulates as well as their military installations, expel American diplomats, military and intelligence personnel, end the American war of Fitna in tribal region and provide Nussrah to Hizb ut-Tahrir in order to establish Khilafah "Caliphate". In the end demonstrators leave peacefully chanting slogans "Expel traitors. Bring Khilafah "Caliphate"", "Close embassies and military installations, end the American Raj."
