Hizb ut Tahrir / Wilayah Bangladesh Organized Protests and Processions against the Deportation of Muslims to Bangladesh by India at Gunpoint

Hizb ut Tahrir / Wilayah Bangladesh, organized protests and processions today (Friday, July 4, 2025) after Jumu'ah in various mosques in Dhaka and Chittagong to protest against the continued deportation of Muslims to Bangladesh by India at gunpoint. Various members of Hizb ut Tahrir delivered speeches at the protests and those were ended with subsequent processions.

The Modi government has recently been treating Indian Muslims like animals, calling them illegal immigrants, demolishing their homes and forcibly deporting them to Bangladesh. Speakers at the protest rallies compared this behavior of Hindutva India to the Jewish entity. The speakers criticized the current secular ruling classes and intellectuals, saying that they are trying to hide the real truth by calling this aggressive behavior of India as a result of India's hostile relations with Bangladesh after the fall of the tyrant Hasina. However, border killings, water aggression, persecution of Muslims inside India, starting from the demolition of the historic Babri Masjid to build a temple to erase the tradition of thousand-year-old Muslim rule, showing arrogance like demanding the uprooting of Aurangzeb's grave, the formulation of the new Citizenship Act (CAA) and the National Register of Citizens (NRC), etc., have been going on for a long time. In fact, this behavior of Hindutva India is part of a continuous process of statelessness and erasure of the identity of Muslims in India, just as the Jewish entity continues to do in Palestine. Allah ﷻ says,

[لَتَجِدَنَّ أَشَدَّ ٱلنَّاسِ عَدَاوَةًۭ لِّلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ ٱلْيَهُودَ وَٱلَّذِينَ أَشْرَكُواْ]

“You will surely find the most intense of the people in animosity toward the believers [to be] the Jews and those who associate others with Allāh” [Surah Al-Ma’idah: 82].

The speakers highlighted two reasons for this arrogant behavior against Muslims and Islam by the Hindutva state of India. Firstly, although the Muslims of this region are bound by the same Iman and blood, the kafir colonialist Britain divided the Muslims on the basis of nationalism (Indian, Bangladeshi, Pakistani, etc.) to weaken them, and imposed secular rulers as their proxies on the people of this region. Secular politicians and intellectuals are so hypocritical that they roar like tigers against the oppression of the Hindu minority in Bangladesh, and meow like cats against the oppression of the ‘minority’ Muslims in India. The Messenger of Allah (saw) said:

«لَيْسَ مِنَّا مَنْ دَعَا إِلَى عَصَبِيَّةٍ، وَلَيْسَ مِنَّا مَنْ قَاتَلَ عَلَى عَصَبِيَّةٍ، وَلَيْسَ مِنَّا مَنْ مَاتَ عَلَى عَصَبِيَّةٍ»

“He is not of us who dies for the sake of Asabiyyah (nationalism); he is not of us who calls to Asabiyyah; he is not of us who fights for Asabiyyah” (Abu Dawud).

Secondly, India is a regional henchmen of Kafir Colonialist America, especially a member of the Quad, one of the military alliances in the Indo-Pacific region. Just as the Kafir Colonialist America uses the illegal Jewish entity in the Middle East to suppress the Muslim Ummah, they similarly use the Hindutva State of India in South Asia.

The speakers reminded us of our responsibility as Muslims: It is obligatory upon all Muslims to help Muslims in any part of the world when they are attacked. Allah (swt) says,

[وَإِنِ ٱسْتَنصَرُوكُمْ فِى ٱلدِّينِ فَعَلَيْكُمُ ٱلنَّصْرُ] “And if they seek help of you for the religion, then you must help” [Surah Al-Anfal: 72]. The current nationalist secular Muslim ruling classes are not the guardian of the Muslim Ummah; they do not send our military forces to help the Muslims of Palestine-Kashmir-Arkan, while at the call of America, they send military forces under the leadership of the United Nations and shed blood.

Finally, the speakers called on Muslims to say: Muslims are persecuted worldwide due to the absence of the true guardian of the Muslim Ummah – the Khilafah. The Messenger of Allah (saw) said,

«إِنَّمَا الْإِمَامُ جُنَّةٌ يُقَاتَلُ مِنْ وَرَائِهِ وَيُتَّقَى بِهِ» “Indeed, the Imam (Caliph) is the shield (commander) under whom the Muslims fight and defend themselves” [Sahih Muslim]. Therefore, we must unite in establishing the Khilafah (Caliphate) without looking at these agent rulers. We must call to the sincere sons of the Muslim Ummah serving in the military to provide Nusrah (material support) to the sincere party of the Muslim Ummah, Hizb ut Tahrir, in establishing the Khilafah upon method of prophethood.
