Press Release
Karzai and Kayani are Deceiving their People
Pak-Afghan Tension is to Secure the American Presence in the Region

In recent days the escalating diplomatic and military tension between Pakistan and Afghanistan is for the purpose of creating a favorable environment for the permanent presence of American military bases and personnel in Afghanistan, even after 2014, the so-called deadline for a limited withdrawal. The Karzai government is blaming Pakistan for infighting and the rest of their problems in Afghanistan. On the other hand, Pakistan is blaming Karzai administration for supporting terrorists operating in the tribal areas of Pakistan. Karzai and Kayani both are trying to cover the face of real culprit, America. America is behind all bombings and killings taking place in Pakistan and Afghanistan and its agents accuse one another to strengthen the American presence in the region.

America wants to secure the presence of American military bases even after 2014 in the guise of a limited withdrawal of troops, but America is facing a very strong public opinion in Afghanistan against achieving this objective. The Karzai government blamed Pakistan for its internal problems so that they can convince Afghan people that for their security and to stop Pakistan infiltrating in its internal affairs, American presence is required in Afghanistan even after 2014. In order to achieve this objective General Kayani, who earlier secured and consolidated American Raj in Pakistan, has extended his services to consolidate American Raj in Afghanistan as well. General Kayani's recent visit of Jordan was partly to secure this objective, where he met John Kerry, US Secretary of State.

The basic reason of all problems faced by Pakistan and Afghanistan is the American presence in the region, its evil plans and its rotten capitalist system. The traitor rulers of Pakistan and Afghanistan spilled the honorable blood of Muslims extravagantly in the name of fighting the so-called war on terror in order to secure American objectives. The only exit for Pakistan and Afghanistan from this disastrous situation is to uproot the traitor rulers, abolish the capitalist system and replace them with the establishment of Khilafah "Caliphate". The Khilafah "Caliphate" will put together the power of Pakistan and Afghanistan under a single leader, a Khaleefah, and then the combined power of armed forces of Khilafah "Caliphate" and sincere Mujahideen will force America to abandon its foothold in the region and run away.

Hizb ut Tahrir reminds the sincere officers in the armed forces of Pakistan that they should seize the traitors within their ranks, who have already sacrificed almost fifty thousand Muslim soldiers and civilians for this American war, in their efforts to make another success story for yet another American evil plan. Continuation of the American presence in the region means the continuous spilling of the sacred blood of Muslim soldiers and civilians while cowardly American solders will be sitting in their air conditioned rooms enjoying the fruits of this war of Fitna. Come forward now and give the Nussrah to Hizb ut Tahrir for the establishment of Khilafah "Caliphate" and establish the basis for a powerful state, Khilafah "Caliphate", which will combine the people, armies and resources of Pakistan and Afghanistan, compelling America to leave this region in disgrace and humiliation.
