Hizb
ut-Tahrir Wilayah Pakistan has issued the following Publicized Policy Position
(PPP) over the continual upheavals in Karachi, the world's third largest city
by population.
A. PREAMBLE:
Karachi
is potentially political, ideological and economic powerhouse, deprived of its
proper contribution through the divisive policies of successive American agent
rulers
Karachi with a population
of over twenty million is the world's third largest city, Pakistan's largest
city, a sea port and former capital. Almost one out of every ten Pakistani is
from Karachi. Karachi's population contains Muslims of all ethnic backgrounds
that are found in Pakistan. There are more Pushtoon Muslims in Karachi then
there are in Peshawar or Kabul. There are also many Balochi and Punjabi
Muslims. Karachi's largest population is that of the Muhajir, Urdu speaking
Muslims, who migrated at the time of the partition of the Indian Subcontinent
to Pakistan from the northern Muslim areas of India. These Urdu speaking
Muslims were important pillars of the Islamic rule over the Indian Subcontinent
for over half a millennium and a cradle for the resistance to the British
occupation for nearly two hundred years. Thus Muslims of Karachi not only have
natural connections to all areas of Pakistan, they also have connections to
Muslims in India. As such, Karachi is a natural source of support for Pakistan,
politically and ideologically. Karachi is a seaport, which connects the region
to the Muslim Lands of the Middle East, and is an essential economic lifeline
for all the regions of Pakistan. It has one third of all of Pakistan's industry
and has a vibrant and diverse economic profile. However, rather than allowing
harmony in Karachi on the basis of the great unifying force of Islam, so that
it can naturally contribute and steer the entire region, successive agent
rulers have nurtured ethnic and sectarian division in the city, crippling it
with continuous strife. Despite all that the rulers have done, Karachi has
always played an important role in movements and initiatives that were critical
for Muslims in the region, from the wars with India, to the movements for Islamic
awareness, to disaster relief efforts and charitable works in general.
B. POLITICAL
CONSIDERATIONS: Crippling
Karachi through democracy
B1. Democracy in reality only
secures the interests of those in power, as they decide what is right and wrong
for everyone else. So, on the one hand, it leaves the entire population in
neglect, immersed in problems. On the other hand it gives those in power
protection for their usurping of the rights of others or other criminal actions.
In Karachi, criminal elements and gang's enjoy state's protection through
political patronage. This patronage comes in the form of influence over state
machinery, like police and judiciary, and making laws in the assemblies and
issuing executive orders. Thus democracy encourages a nexuses of powerful
interest groups and state legislatures and government machinery. So it is no
surprise that criminals operate openly and with impunity in Karachi.
B2. The need for people to group
together, especially ethnic minorities, is also a trait common in democracy
because the needs of the majority factions are given preference over the
minorities. These ethnic groups fight with other groups for rights and share of
state's attention and revenues. This encourages and fans animosity between
different citizens of the state consolidating divisions amongst the society. And
Karachi has been burning in the fires of ethnic rivalry for decades.
B3.
America and its agents within Pakistan's military and political leadership ensure
that Karachi burns in constant fires of rivalry. They not only secure the
current colonialist, democratic system, they promote the creation of
organizations on ethnicity through direct contact. In Karachi, the American
consulate has in particular played a role in fueling ethnic fires as far
as field as Baluchistan, using ethnic groupings found in Karachi. It has even
made preparations for expanding its war of terror to Karachi. Thus, the
colonialists create chaos within the city and then use it as a cover to
selectively end threats to their interests, such as sincere politicians who
raise their voices against America's war on Muslims.
C. LEGAL
INJUCTIONS: Ending strife, consolidating Karachi's diverse population
C1. Like
the troubled and divided people of Yathrib that only saw peace and prosperity
when they embraced Islam and became Madinah, the first Islamic state, Karachi
will only ever know of peace under Islam. Islam is what is common to all
Muslims, regardless of their ethnicity or school of thought and the Shariah is
the law that is based on their Aqeedah, Islam. It is the commands and
prohibitions, as revealed in the Quran and the Sunnah. The Khilafah does not
favor the ruler over the ruled, or one ethnic group or school of thought over
another. Unlike democracy, which focuses development in the seats of power in
the regions, where the rulers themselves reside or where those upon whom the
rulers depend for support live, the Khilafah will look after the affairs of the
entire society in a manner it deserves. So it will not only ensure the
development of Karachi and other neglected large cities, but also it will
ensure the development of the smaller cities and villages, preventing the need
for continual migration to the larger cities for essentials such as health and
education, leading to huge overcrowding.
As Hizb
ut-Tahrir has declared in its Introduction to the Constitution, article 7,
“The
State implements the Islamic Shari’ah upon all those who hold the Islamic
citizenship, with no difference between Muslims and non-Muslims as follows: (a) All
the rules of Islam will be implemented upon the Muslims without any exception. (b) The non-Muslims
will be allowed to follow their beliefs and worships within the scope of the
general system. ”
C2. In
the Khilafah political parties will be established on the basis of Islam and
not on ethnic grounds. Political parties and individuals as well as government
officials will not be allowed to have connections with foreign diplomats. All
embassies and consulates of hostile kafir countries would be closed.
As Hizb
ut-Tahrir has declared in its Introduction to the Constitution, Article 21, “The
Muslims have the right to establish political parties in order to account the
rulers or to reach the rule through the Ummah on the condition that their basis
is the Islamic ‘Aqeedah and that the rules they adopt are Shari’ah rules. The
formation of a party does not require any permission. Any group formed on an
un-Islamic basis is prohibited.”
C3. The dominate
atmosphere within society will be that which is common to all the ethnic
groupings of Pakistan, Islam. The education system, the media, the address of
the rulers and those who account them will all be embedded firmly in the
Islamic Aqeedah, which will naturally eliminate narrow ethnic bigotry.
Moreover, although other regional languages will be used, the official language
of the state will be Arabic only, which is the language of Islam, the Quran,
the Messenger of Allah and the legal language. This will end decisively the
tensions over language that have existed in Pakistan since its founding. In its
“Introduction to the Constitution,” Article 8, Hizb
ut-Tahrir has adopted, “The
Arabic language is exclusively the language of Islam and it is the only
language used by the State.”
Note: Please
refer to the following articles of Hizb ut-Tahrir's “Introduction to the
Constitution,” for the complete evidences from Quran and Sunnah: 7, 8 and 21.
D. POLICY: Raising Karachi to its full potential
D1. The comprehensive implementation of Islam which is
what is common to all Muslims, will bring harmony amongst the people and allow
Karachi to flourish under Islam, freed from ethnic rivalry and neglect. The
Khilafah will look after the affairs of all the people, throughout the country,
without discrimination according to their race, religion, school of thought or
gender.
D2. Political parties will be allowed as long as they
adhere to Islam and thus do not sow the seeds of tension on lines of ethnicity.
Their members will not be in contact with foreign diplomats and the diplomatic
missions of hostile countries will be closed
