Hizb ut-Tahrir Organized Protest Demo in Birmingham Against Zardari's Arrival Khilafah Should be Established by Consigning the Corrupt Leadership and the System to the Dustbin of History; Demanded the Protesters

Hizb ut-Tahrir Britain held a spirited protest against Zardari's arrival to the convention center in Birmingham. Protestors were holding placards and banners on which slogans were inscribed against Zardari and Gilani and in calling for the reestablishment of the Khilafah "Caliphate" in Pakistan. Protestors were highlighting the fact that the present disastrous situation of Pakistan is because of incapable leadership and the corrupt Capitalist system and the only way forward is to establish Khilafah "Caliphate" by uprooting these corrupt leaders and system. After seeing the protestors, minister of information Qamr us Zaman Qaira said that it is their [Hizb ut-Tahrir's] democratic right.  He has given this statement in Britain regarding Hizb ut-Tahrir activists to show British media and Pakistani community that they are the champions of democracy. But in reality they are the same democratic rulers who stop a non-militant political party like Hizb ut-Tahrir in Pakistan and throw its members in jail on voicing their political views.

 Zardari's visit at a time when almost entire Pakistan is devastated by the floods is another proof that, like the dictators, democratic rulers are also tools in the hands of America and Britain and their sole purpose in life is to mint money and make their corruption above the law. People of Pakistan reject the implementation of Capitalist system either through democracy or dictatorship and wants to implement laws of Allah through Khilafah "Caliphate". Also Ummah has rejected the protectors of this system whether they are in ruling or in opposition. This is evident from the fact that about eighty percent of the people do not even vote in this system. We demand from the people of power that they should respond to this silent referendum and uproot this system and provide support to Hizb ut-Tahrir for the establishment of the Khilafah "Caliphate". This is the only method to implement Islam and unify the Ummah.
