Government bans Hizb-ut-Tahrir, citing threats to national security, democracy

The Indian government has banned Hizb-ut-Tahrir, a global pan-Islamic group formed in 1953, for its efforts to create an Islamic state through jihad. The organisation is involved in radicalising youth, financially supporting terrorism, and promoting terrorist acts using social media and secure apps. This move is aimed at protecting India's democratic setup and internal security.
