Press Release
Mr. Gilani! We accept your challenge! Through the establishment of the Khilafah, Hizb ut-Tahrir can solve Pakistan's problems

Hizb ut-Tahrir acceptes the challenge posed by Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani, that if some one can solve the problems of Pakistan, then he should come forward. Pakistan has two main problems, the capitalist system and corrupt and cowered leadership. Hizb ut-Tahrir has the capability to implement Islam's economic, judicial, education, social systems and Islam's foreign policy through Islam's unique political system i.e. the Khilafah "Caliphate". Also Hizb ut-Tahrir has the capable leadership in shape of its Ameer Shaikh Atta Bin Khalil Abu Rashta and its Leadership Committee. This leadership is fully aware of international politics as well as the minutest details of the Islamic system. Shaikh Atta Bin Khalil Abu Rashta has been struggling in this cause for more than three decades.  Before becoming the Ameer of the Hizb, he as a spokesman of the party was arrested on several occasions. He is well known throughout the world especially amongst the political, social and media circles. Once he becomes the Khaleefah he has the capability to unite the Arabs and ‘Ajums under his leadership. Hizb ut-Tahrir's track record proves the fact that Hizb has continued to account the rulers and never compromised on its goal or method even though the rulers employed various methods of alluring and pressurizing the party such as banning it and killing its members. This is the reason that today the demand for the establishment of an Islamic state has become the voice of the entire Muslim Ummah.  

After the establishment of the Khilafah "Caliphate", Hizb ut-Tahrir will replace the current secular constitution with a new constitution based on Quran and Sunnah. In this new constitution Allah and his Messenger's (SAAW) commands will not require the approval of the majority to become the law of the land. All subjugative taxes including GST, with-holding tax and toll tax will be abolished. Oil, gas, electricity and all the natural resources will be declared public property and every citizen of the state will get them on its cost-price. To stop American aggression on Pakistan all supplies to American and NATO forces in Afghanistan will be cut-off. Bidding farewell to the United Nations Organization it will initiate its struggle to unify all the Muslim lands under a single leadership.  Under this policy it will mobilize its forces to eject US from Afghanistan and annex it with the Khilafah "Caliphate". Basic needs of all the citizens shall be met by the state. The current dual-educational system will be abolished and a single basic educational system will be available to all the citizens for free. Unclaimed land will be distributed to landless peasants. Colonial judicial system will be abolished and Islamic judicial system will be introduced whereby people will get speedy justice free of cost. Prime Minister Gilani's admission is a clear proof of the failure of the capitalist system and current political leadership.  Hizb ut-Tahrir calls upon the sincere elements in the military to stop their support for the present cowardly political and military leadership and help Hizb ut-Tahrir in order to establish the Khilafah "Caliphate" and get Pakistan out of the humiliating slavery of America and seek the pleasure of Allah the All Mighty.
