Hizb-ut-Tahrir expands in South India, radicalizes youth with Palestine narrative.
The Hizb-ut-Tahrir (HuT) is reportedly expanding its operations in South India, particularly targeting states like Tamil Nadu, Telangana, and Andhra Pradesh, leveraging a narrative centered around Palestine to radicalize and recruit youth. Indian intelligence agencies are alarmed by the group’s potential to establish a support base and organize hit squads under newly established Sharia courts. Past attempts to incite communal tensions and links with the Pakistan Army for assistance in operations against India underscore the seriousness of this threat. The situation necessitates vigilant monitoring by Indian security forces to counteract the radicalization efforts and prevent any escalation of violence.
