5th February Kashmir Day Kashmir Will Only be Liberated by Establishment of Khilafah

Kashmir day is being celebrated today all over Pakistan. People are holding marches and gatherings to show solidarity with the Muslims of Kashmir. Even the Raheel-Nawaz regime is celebrating this day with great zeal.

After the lapse of sixty-eight years, Kashmir has not been liberated from Indian occupation. The Muslims of Kashmir and Pakistan demonstrated confidence in the "international community" taking this matter to the United Nations but nothing resulted. The same international community, especially America, advised that the matter be resolved bilaterally between Pakistan and India but India refused even to talk on the matter. The Muslims of Kashmir and the region waged Jihad but first General Musharraf withdraw support from the Jihad of Kashmir on American instruction and since then every government has followed the same policy. Today, Muslims of Kashmir are facing Indian oppression and struggling for their liberation without any help from any one.

Sixty-eight years of history has proved that the liberation of Kashmir is not possible through United Nations, resort to the "international community", bilateral talks or the jihad of individuals and groups. It is only possible through jihad waged by armies. It is thus imperative that under Pakistan's armed forces Jihad must be waged to liberate Kashmir. The current Raheel-Nawaz regime cannot do this. The matter of this regime is that it has declared those Mujahideen who are waging Jihad against the American crusading army in Afghanistan as "terrorists" and closed its borders on them. The loud rhetoric coming from the Raheel-Nawaz regime on Kashmir Day is totally in contrast to their actions. This government has continued the policy of General Musharaf of banning Jihad in Kashmir, spending every effort to establish trade with India and their response to Indian aggression on the Line of Control and working boundary for the last six months is so shamelessly unbefitting that India called a delegation to talk and martyred two of our rangers personnel and the Raheel-Nawaz regime just issued a mere condemnation.

Hizb ut Tahrir wants to make it clear to the Muslims of Kashmir and Pakistan and sincere officers in the armed forces that Kashmir can only be liberated by waging Jihad under Pakistan army and that this can only be made a reality by the Khilafah "Caliphate". The Khilafah "Caliphate" will gather the strength of forces and the Muslims of this region and will easily force India to abandon Kashmir. India could not face few thousands Mujahideen supported by our armed forces and was forced to deploy more than five hundred thousand soldiers in Kashmir. How, then, will she be able to face the army of the Khilafah "Caliphate"? Therefore, the people of Pakistan must ask their sons and brothers in the armed forces that they provide Nussrah to Hizb ut Tahrir for the establishment of Khilafah "Caliphate" and the sincere officers must provide Nussrah to Hizb to resume the magnificent history of Muslims in this region.

[فَلاَ تَهِنُواْ وَتَدْعُوۤاْ إِلَى ٱلسَّلْمِ وَأَنتُمُ ٱلأَعْلَوْنَ وَٱللَّهُ مَعَكُمْ وَلَن يَتِرَكُمْ أَعْمَالَكُمْ]

"So be not weak, asking for peace, while you are having the upper hand. Allah is with you, and will never decrease the reward of your good deeds." [Muhammad: 35]
