MHA Declares Hizb-ut-Tahrir Terrorist Organization in India

On October 11, 2024, India’s Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) declared Hizb-ut-Tahrir (HuT) a terrorist organization under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA). The group aims to establish a global Islamic state through jihad, conflicting with India’s democratic values. HuT radicalizes youth, raises funds for terrorism, and uses social media and encrypted apps to spread extremist ideologies. The recent arrest of Faizul Rahman, HuT’s leader in Tamil Nadu and Puducherry, highlights the organization’s threat to national security. This ban marks India’s 45th such designation, strengthening efforts to combat terrorism.
