Demand the End of Co-Operation with the US, to Secure the Prestige of Our Armed Forces, Our Lands and Our Deen

The appointment of a new army chief for the world’s most powerful Muslim army came at a time of great despair. We breathed a sigh of relief, as we saw the end of the painful, six-year era of General Bajwa. Binding us to co-operation with the US, the Bajwa Doctrine ruined the reputation of the armed forces, unleashing instability and insecurity upon us. As for the way forwards, nothing less than ending all co-operation with the US, will secure the prestige of our armed forces, whilst fully realizing the immense potential of Pakistan.

O Muslims of Pakistan! Demand the end of co-operation with the US, through which Occupied Kashmir was abandoned to India. The Bajwa Doctrine permanently eliminated all support for Jihad in Kashmir, ending a great drain on India’s military and economy. Abandoning the Islamic obligation of Jihad freed India to rise as a US ally against America’s rival, China, infiltrate deeply into Afghanistan and launch a brutal campaign against our Muslim brothers in India, masajid, the hijab and the honor of the Prophet (saw).

O Muslims of Pakistan! Demand the end of co-operation with the US, which weakens the Pakistan Army in front of India, through exercising “restraint.” Conforming to US dictates, the Bajwa Doctrine promoted a “no-space-for-war” narrative. The American plan is to “right-size” the capacity of Pakistan’s powerful military, reducing its military and nuclear capabilities, whilst rapidly increasing those of India. By doing so, our army officers are now demoralized, by the false notion of India’s military and economic superiority, over us.

O Muslims of Pakistan! Demand the end of co-operation with the US, which compelled the Afghan mujahideen to strike a deal, for a safe exit of the defeated US military, whilst trapping the Afghan leadership in the US world order. Co-operation with the US ensures that tensions in the tribal areas bordering Afghanistan are inflamed, through keeping ‘the Boulevard’ air corridor for US drones wide open, above our heads. Our troops are now heavily engaged on our Western border, giving India a stronger hold over Occupied Kashmir and the region. Moreover, the Bajwa Doctrine denied us the chance to unify Pakistan and Afghanistan as one state, strengthening us against India.

O Muslims of Pakistan! Demand the end of the American colonialist Raj which gave life to America’s tool of control over us, the system of Democracy. The American masters of Bajwa were alarmed by the growing rejection of Democracy within us, as well as our yearning for the Islamic ruling system, the Khilafah. The Bajwa Doctrine ensured that we would turn our faces again to the failed Democracy, prolonging its life. Thus, ruling swung from the PML-N to PTI, and then back again to PML-N, creating internal chaos. Indeed, co-operation with the US denies us the chance to rid ourselves of Democracy, by ensuring ruling by all that Allah (swt) has revealed.

O Muslims of Pakistan and their Armed Forces! Insist now upon the re-establishment of the Khilafah (Caliphate) on the Method of the Prophethood, which will end all forms of co-operation with the US, including the Bajwa Doctrine. Allah (swt) said,

[إِنَّمَا يَنْهَاكُمْ اللَّهُ عَنْ الَّذِينَ قَاتَلُوكُمْ فِي الدِّينِ وَأَخْرَجُوكُمْ مِنْ دِيَارِكُمْ وَظَاهَرُوا عَلَى إِخْرَاجِكُمْ أَنْ تَوَلَّوْهُمْ وَمَنْ يَتَوَلَّهُمْ فَأُوْلَئِكَ هُمْ الظَّالِمُونَ]

“Allah forbids your alliance with those who fight you because of your Deen, and drive you from your homelands, or aid others to do so: and as for those who turn to them in alliance, they are truly oppressors.” [Surah Al-Mumtahina 60:9]. Know that anything less than this, is more of the same.
