The Indian government has officially designated Hizb-Ut-Tahrir (HuT) and its associated groups as terrorist organisations under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act. The MHA stated that HuT aims to establish an Islamic state and Caliphate globally, including in India. Hizb-ut-Tahrir planned to overthrow democratically elected governments through jihad and terrorism. HuT is accused of radicalising youth to join terrorist organisations like ISIS and raising funds for terror activities. The government believes HuT poses a grave threat to India’s democratic setup and internal security. HM Amit Shah emphasised that the action against HuT aligns with PM Modi’s zero-tolerance policy towards terrorism. Notably, the US, China, Russia, and Pakistan have already banned and declared Hizb-ut-Tahrir a terrorist organization.
